Even HENRY showed up...so where's Condi? No snarky shovel talk, now!

Kerry Welcomes Predecessors at New U.S. Diplomacy Center
Secretary of State John Kerry welcomed five of his predecessors in a rare meeting on Wednesday that included the groundbreaking of the United States Diplomacy Center in Washington. Former Secretaries of State Henry A. Kissinger, James A. Baker, III, Madeleine K. Albright, Colin L. Powell, and Hillary Rodham Clinton, joined Kerry at the event and made remarks about the center and the importance of diplomacy.

"I think at a time when there are those who wonder about our role in the world, this center sends an important, indeed, an indispensable message," Clinton said at the gathering, "That diplomacy and development are the heart of America's leadership, and that that leadership remains absolutely essential for everything we hope to see happen in the world, not just for our country and for Americans, but for people everywhere." ...

3. Condi was inside, playing the piano.

"Requests? Anyone have requests?

5. She thought the US Diplomacy Center was going to come in the form of a mushroom cloud, I guess.

6. Ah ha ha....!!! The tune "MEMORIES" is what she's tinkling out on those keys on the pic above.....

Accompanied by the rhythmic snarling and wheezing of Dick "Coldheart" Cheney!!!!

I do think her absence is ... notable. Not quite a WTF moment, but enough to ask WHY?

It's not like Kissinger favored diplomacy over the occasional nice, charming, simmering little beat-down by proxy, but he girded his loins and showed up anyway.

And it's not like she doesn't know how to pick up a shovel. She managed to shovel over the traces and hide the truth for a good long time working for Porgie!
