Condi Antoinette snaps at salesperson

[dancingme]

Washington Post reporter, Glenn Kessler, has just published a new biography of Condoleeza Rice. According to news reports, there is an anecdote in the book that perhaps best expresses the way the Bush Administration overall feels about workers--and about their own exhalted right to rule.

According to Rice's best friend, Stanford University's Prof. Coit Blacker, when our Secretary of State was on a shopping trip to purchase some jewelry and the saleswoman brought her earringt that she didn't deem worthy of her salary (paid for by us, the taxpayers), Rice snapped "Let's get one thing straight. You're behind the counter because you have to work for the minimum wage. I'm on this side because I make considerably more."

4. "uppity"?

Seems that that's what they used to call that kind of behavior, common to people that are full of themselves after reaching a level of success beyond their station in life.

7. You can tell alot about a person's character by how they treat wait staff and clerks.

What a rude miserable woman.
