Do It Right, or Don't Do It At All

Well, Condi is obviously doing something right as she has royally pissed off Pravda.

A choice sampling:

{...}So instead of mouthing off about NATO and Russia, how about you shut the hell up, put a sock in it and go back to inflict yourself on your students? Rumour has it you were pretty much hated in academic circles as well, perhaps not as much as in the area of diplomacy, which your very presence insults.

You, personally, are the reason why Washington has been divorced from the international community; you, personally are the reason why so many millions of people hate the idea of the United States and all it stands for; you, personally, are responsible for driving a wedge of sullen hatred into the hearts and mind of the international community. You have done more damage to your country, to its international standing, to the history and the noble precepts of your founding fathers than any other American in history.{...}

Is is just me, or is this "editorial" more reminiscent of a blog post, rather than the opinion column of a newspaper? 

Of course, it is Pravda we're talking about here, but hell.  One would think even they would have better standards for editorial writers than some blogger in the "Insignificant Microbe" section of the Ecosystem. 

Keep up the good work, Condi!  I, for one, am proud to have you pissing off the Russians!  Someone needs to teach those pissants a lesson, and you're just the girl for the job.
