soft bigotry, low expectations

I'm not much for "ladies" who wear pearls (as in her more official photos) but in the below picture the Secretary of Education looks like a fun gal. Much more interesting and better looking than the losers to her right (figuratively and literally)

However, I am reminded that this is the woman who actually believes NCLB works and hates lesbians. So, I guess I'm just saying she's cute in the photo, not that I like her like her. Oww, good lord! I'm in a downward spiral!
