Oh Ro-oo-bb

I have this way of hearing or seeing people and thinking they remind me of someone, and this morning while listening to NPR I had this revelation. They were doing an interview with Sec. of State Condolezza Rice and as she spoke I was suddenly hearing Laura Petrie's voice from the Dick Van Dyke show! They had the same inflection and tone, and while the content was assuredly different, they sounded much alike. And as I thought about it, I realized that with her 'Condi-flip' hair style- Sec. Rice actually looks like Mary Tyler Moore's character in the 60's (of course, minus some pigmentation). So, I googled some pictures so you can see for yourself and decide if I'm onto something or need to go sleep in my own twin bed tonight.




And I couldn't resist putting these in, although the resemblence isn't quite as strong- I still like the juxtaposition of strong educated woman with a goofy comedian behind her...
