"I can go into a whole day of meetings at the Department of State and actually rarely see somebody who looks like me. And that is just not acceptable," said the nation's top diplomat.http://www.newser.com/story/36965/rice-laments-lack-of-black-diplomats.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 09 Sep 2008 7:18:26 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/95047/condoleezza-rice-meets-rock-band-kiss.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThe Kiss Army fan club has an enthusiastic new recruit: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. In a departure from her normally staid diplomatic duties, Rice met the legendary glam rock quartet when they happened to share a hotel in the Swedish capital. Rice was in Stockholm on Thursday for an international conference on Iraq. Kiss had a sold-out gig to play on Friday."I was thrilled," Rice said of her late-night encounter with frontman Gene Simmons...http://www.newser.com/story/95047/condoleezza-rice-meets-rock-band-kiss.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 30 May 2008 7:44:23 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/25098/rice-visits-iraq-looks-to-bolster-pm-maliki.html?refid=rss_all_defaultCondoleezza Rice paid an unannounced visit to Baghdad today to highlight recent political gains brought about by PM Nouri al-Maliki's government. While the Maliki-ordered assault on Basra last month exposed some weaknesses in the Iraqi army, it also brought different groups in Iraq together, she said. "This is, I think, an important time. You've seen a coalescing of a center in Iraqi politics," Rice said.http://www.newser.com/story/25098/rice-visits-iraq-looks-to-bolster-pm-maliki.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSun, 20 Apr 2008 7:41:43 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/23833/rice-as-running-mate-would-be-icing-on-cake.html?refid=rss_all_defaultIs it too much to ask for one more major dose of entertainment this election season, Eugene Robinson wonders in the Washington Post —then answers his own question by begging John McCain to pick Condoleezza Rice as his running mate. The secretary of state may not come with a natural base, but she’s vice-presidential timber if there ever was any, Robinson writes.http://www.newser.com/story/23833/rice-as-running-mate-would-be-icing-on-cake.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 08 Apr 2008 19:05:44 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/23771/condi-debunks-veep-rumors.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSecretary of State Condoleezza Rice has once again quashed speculation that she is seeking the vice presidential nomination as John McCain's running mate, reports the Washington Post . A McCain-Rice ticket would satisfy many of McCain's conservative critics and represent a formidable challenge to a Dem ticket headed by a woman or African American.http://www.newser.com/story/23771/condi-debunks-veep-rumors.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 08 Apr 2008 7:06:43 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/21198/be-brave-mac-pick-condi-for-vp.html?refid=rss_all_defaultDitch the banal short-list and pick a running mate with pizazz—like Condoleezza Rice, Hendrik Hertzberg urges John McCain in the New Yorker . The best-liked Iraq war planner would trigger an "avalanche of positive publicity" on her personal success story, and let GOP voters crack a race-gender ceiling without having to choose. The trick would be ducking her failed record in office, Hertzberg writes.http://www.newser.com/story/21198/be-brave-mac-pick-condi-for-vp.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 08 Apr 2008 7:06:44 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/9544/condi-to-stanford-profs-lay-off-rummy.html?refid=rss_all_defaultCondi wants Stanford profs to lay off Don Rumsfeld and welcome “all views” at the university, Politico reports. She stopped short of praising her old colleague—“I know Don Rumsfeld, he is going to be a challenging presence”—but scolded faculty for doubting Rummy’s appointment as “distinguished visiting fellow” last week. “That’s what universities ought to be about: [an] open exchange of ideas,” she said.http://www.newser.com/story/9544/condi-to-stanford-profs-lay-off-rummy.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 08 Apr 2008 7:06:44 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/8625/no-white-house-dreams-for-rice.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSecretary of State Condoleezza Rice was grilled yesterday about her dreams, sleep patterns and White House ambitions (she doesn't have any, she claims). It was not nightmarish testimony on Capitol Hill but a visit to a Harlem school and a rare foray into the domestic arena for Rice, who told students that for someone with a powerful job she doesn't often feel very powerful.http://www.newser.com/story/8625/no-white-house-dreams-for-rice.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 08 Apr 2008 7:06:44 CDT
