I would dress like Condoleezza Rice!</p> <p>It was a close call, because my first thought was Christine Lagarde, surely the best dressed woman ever to grace the corridors of power. But then I remembered this.</p> <p>"Rice challenges expectations and assumptions. There is undeniable authority in her long black jacket with its severe details and menacing silhouette. The darkness lends an air of mystery and foreboding. Black is the color of intellectualism, of abstinence, of penitence. If there is any symbolism to be gleaned from Rice's stark garments, it is that she is tough and focused enough for whatever task is at hand."</p> <p>Yes. If I were President, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pulitzer.org/article/dick-and-condi-contrast-styles">I would dress like the Queen of Darkness</a>&nbsp;in a short skirt and a long jacket. And knee-high stilettos.&nbsp; </p>
