Sweatin' to Democracy!

How about a little dirty Rice with your coffee and morning news? Turns out U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is a major health nut, and all this week she'll share her workout tips on NBC, pumping iron and sweating on a stationary bike.

These are mental images I did not need, much less visual. Condoleeza. Bike shorts. Sweating. Though I found it's a pretty prevelant theme for writers of conservative slash-fic.

"Conde pumped the bike's pedals. "Harder, Harder," she murmmured to herself, taut haunches straining, her firm thighs pulsing against the silky texture of her red, white and blue spandex shorts..."Every mile is another victory against the enemies of freedom," she panted, her crotch grinding agai--"

And that's when I threw up.

Who knew stamping out tyranny across the globe required such a tight bod?
