Title: Arabs lavish jewels on Secretary of State Rice
Post by: Bindare_Dundat on December 22, 2008, 07:03:01 PM
WASHINGTON – President George W. Bush's foreign policies may be unpopular in the Middle East, but Arab leaders showered his top diplomat with jewelry worth far more than a quarter of a million dollars last year.

While Bush himself didn't fare nearly as well, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice raked in at least $316,000 in gem-encrusted baubles from the kings of Jordan and Saudi Arabia alone, making her one of top recipients among U.S. officials of gifts from foreign heads of state and government and their aides in 2007.

Odd isn't it? Arabs with wealth in black gold are quick to fling around cash on frivolous things and bash Israel 24/7 whilst at the same time totally ignoring their Arab brethren in Palestine... hmm...

Damn that's hot!  LMAO!  I'd give her a pearl necklace. 

On a serious note they reported today that she gave everything back.
