In January, Hillary Clinton will be stepping down as President Obama's Secretary of State, and rumors are already swirling over who will replace her. Among the maybe-candidates are Massachusetts Senator ex-Presidential nominee John Kerry and former Utah Governor, ambassador to China, and…
So, it might be a little weird to read this, but it's Friday, after all, and we can let things get a little crazy: Sarah Palin might have been right about something when she mused on Thursday that Mitt Romney wouldn't pick a wildcard like Sarah Palin to be his running mate. Well shucks, Sarah — why the golly heck not?…
Hillary Clinton is in Latvia today, the 100th nation she's visited as U.S. Secretary of State. This makes her our 100% most gallivantiest Secretary of State of all time, out-gallivanting other noted Gallivanters of State such as Madeleine Albright, Condoleezza Rice, and a bunch of dudes. Go Hillz!
Mitt Romney and all of his rich Republican friends got together this past weekend in Utah to pal around and talk about the things rich people talk about. (Horses, horses, horses!) At this gathering, Condoleezza Rice gave a speech that very much impressed all of the big wigs, and immediately everyone was desperate for…
Today, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice predictably announced that she'll be supporting Mitt Romney in this fall's Presidential election. Her reasoning? Mitt Romney thinks America is the greatest, bestest, most explodiest star spangliest country ever, and Barack Obama doesn't. Looks like all that time spent…
All the Vice Presidential nominee speculation has caused presumed GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney to nearly short circuit with information overload. Which potential running mate will complement him, fill out the ticket, and give voters something to be excited about? Marco Rubio? Rick Santorum? Some other,…
On March 12, 1912, eighteen girls from Savannah, Georgia gathered for what would be the first meeting of Girl Scouts.

When Condi Rice appeared on last night's Daily Show to talk about her new book, Jon Stewart went straight for the real story at hand: the time Condi met Gaddafi. The former Secretary Of State had been warned of the tyrant's "creepy obsession" with her but went he gave up his "weapons of mass destruction" in 2008,…
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has written a book. Unfortunately, much of that book tries to justify all that lying the Bush administration did to get us into Iraq. Fortunately, she spends some of the book indulging the public's desire to learn about how everyone in the Bush White House was behind closed…
You guys better sit down for this: According to Condoleezza Rice, Dick Cheney is kind of an asshole! Of course, the former secretary of state is far too classy to say it outright, but she's obviously rather pissed at Cheney for implying in his new book that she cried while talking policy with him. Even powerful ladies…
The hunt is on for Muammar Qaddafi and other high-level members of his regime who fled after the rebels stormed Tripoli. For now, there are the spoils in his compound — including an album full of photos of Condoleezza Rice.
Miss Representation is a documentary from writer/director (and former first lady of San Francisco) Jennifer Siebel Newsom which "explores women's under-representation in positions of power and influence and challenges the limited and often disparaging portrayal of women in the media."

Putting aside for a moment the burning question of whether Condoleezza Rice wants one, what exactly does this phrase mean, and where did it come from?
We get "humanizing" questions. We get "human interest" questions. But then there are insulting questions that we can't imagine Piers would direct at, say, Warren Christopher. Questions like, "are you high-maintenance?"
At a fundraiser last night, classically trained pianist and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice accompanied current Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin for a few songs. An unusual pairing, perhaps — but it was also pretty cool.
Extraordinary, Ordinary People — Condoleezza Rice's first of two memoirs — will be released in October. The book will discuss her family and mentors — readers will have to wait for the sequel for shoe-shopping tips during natural disasters. [NYT]
