This is not an original idea, I saw it somewhere on the Web probably over a year ago -- but it had such an impact on me that I can hardly look at Condoleeza Rice without thinking of this comparison. I put together a little graphic of my own... what do you think?
What did you think of Condi's Europe/Middle East trip? My gay genes kicked in and thought it was all very "Rainbow Tour"/Evita-ish... well some of the lyrics seem to fit:
People of Europe, I send you the Rainbow of Argentina
USA
Spain has fallen to the charms of Evita
Condi
She can do what she likes, it doesn't matter much
She's our lady of the new world with a golden touch
She filled a bull-ring, forty-five thousand seater
But if you're prettier than General Franco, that's not hard
Let's hear it for the Rainbow Tour
It's been an incredible success
We weren't quite sure, we had a few doubts
Will Evita Condi win through?
But the answer is yes
. . .
There you are, I told you so
Makes no difference where she goes
The whole world over just the same
Just listen to them call her name
And who would underestimate the actress now?
. . .
Now I don't like to spoil a wonderful story
But the news from Rome isn't quite as good
She hasn't gone down like they thought she would
Italy's unconvinced by Argentine US glory
They equate Peron Bush with Mussolini, can't think why
. . .
You'd better get out the flags and fix a parade
Some kind of coming home in triumph is required
Would Evita Condi win through?
And the answer is Yes... And no.. And yes.. And no.. And yes... No
Would Evita Condi win through? But the answer is Yes Yes Yes
