I love the French.
From 2004:
According to the State Department's records, Abdullah also gave the Bush family two sets of diamond and white-gold jewelry by the exclusive Italian jeweler Bulgari and an $8,500 mantel clock "elaborately detailed in silver and gold vermeil."
Abdullah's gifts also included ornamental daggers with ivory handles, worth $1,500, for chief of staff Andrew Card and national-security adviser Condoleezza Rice; a miniature silver sword for Secretary of State Colin Powell, worth $1,500; and a small golden statue of a horse for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, worth $700.
Russian President Vladimir Putin gave Bush the second-largest single gift: a book of original watercolor portraits of the 43 U.S. presidents, bound in red velvet studded with precious gems. It was valued at $45,000.
French President Jacques Chirac, an outspoken critic of the Iraq war, nonetheless gave Bush $1,900 in gifts, including a set of Christian Dior cologne, after-shave lotion and soap ($133).

Except Condi isn't virtuous. Just sorta Satanically evil.
How is this allowed?

" A virtuous woman has a price far above rubies."
Uhmm.. Of COURSE. She got DIAMONDS and EMERALDS as well. The total package price was raised significantly above that of just the rubies.

And wondering, what the FUCK they were thinking?
Susan B. Anthony didn't live to see the 19th Amendment passed, which is very sad. But I daresay she'd be happier not knowing what drunken sluts we've all become. So thanks, Susan, for paving the way for my sloppy drunken ways. I owe you a cold one.

Drink everyday for 2 weeks solid.
It worked. I got over it.
