Police State Fashions

In the Washington Post:

Condoleezza Rice’s Commanding Clothes
by Robin Givhan

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrived at the Wiesbaden Army Airfield on Wednesday dressed all in black. She was wearing a black skirt that hit just above the knee, and it was topped with a black coat that fell to mid-calf. The coat, with its seven gold buttons running down the front and its band collar, called to mind a Marine’s dress uniform or the “save humanity” ensemble worn by Keanu Reeves in “The Matrix.”

(Thanks to the friend who sent me this link, and noted that Con is “setting the style for all jackbooted thugs.”)
