Condoleezza Rice's life's being laid out in Glenn Kessler's The Confidante: Condoleezza Rice and the Creation of the Bush Legacy.
Exploring the ins-and-outs of the Secretary of State's typically private life, Kessler dug up some interesting dirt, including the fact that Rice's greatest guy friend's a gay. What's more, Rice and best gal pal, Randy Bean, own a home together. Via The Gist:
According to newly revealed information in the book (which Kessler found through real estate records), the two women, Rice and Bean (yes, hilarious), own a home together and have a line of credit together. The way Bean explains this in the book, is that she had some medical bills that drained her financially years ago, and Rice and Blacker helped her out by buying the house with Bean. But over time Blacker sold his share of the house to Rice and Bean, and then Rice would later get the line of credit with Bean to do some renovations on the home. Kessler, when pressed, said he did not know if this meant there was something more to the relationship between the woman beyond a friendship.
Could the credit story be a cover for a walk-in closet? Regardless, it's fishy.
While Rice's intimated lesbianism makes a great headline, Condi's caboose deserves some attention, too. From the book:
After she became secretary of state, she came to a party at Blacker's house, kicked off her shoes, and began dancing through the night to rock and and roll. Blacker, who is gay, wanted to show his partner how tight her behind is; he postulated that if he aimed a quarter at her butt, it would bounce off like a rocket. He was right. Rice, who was dancing, didn't realize what he had done until everyone began laughing hysterically. She was flattered — and proud.
She can't be that proud. 'cause she never lets that side out…

Fighting hard not to make immature comment about Condi's overbite and cunnilingus…losing strength, must try to avoid sophomoric humor.
If not for our treasury bankrupted and nation in hock for generations for wars put on credit cards, approaching 4,000 American troops dead, 600,000 Iraqis killed and another million uprooted thanks to neocons like Condi, this story would be quite, quite amusing!
Actually 4 million have been uprooted.
Well in that case, Our Girl's REALLY on the ball!
Everyone in DC knows about Condi's dating around. She normally only dates foreign gals.
Next Condi is in Iraq, I hope someone asks her how she feels about Iraqi LGBTQ's being tortured and murdered and what the Bush WH plans to do to stop it.
It's always been SO obvious she is a lesbian. For Christ's sake she's a football fanatic!
She has always taken the most LGBTQ friendly position in the Administration; with the little leniency she's allowed. During the swearing-in Mark Dybul, she referred to his partner as his husband. It was an unequivocal sign of her personal support of marriage equality.
It is a shame that C Rice has allowed her puppetry by the Bush/Chaney regime. I am sorry, but the repercussions of her tenure with them WILL create a negative slam on the GLTB community if we trivalize this. Too bad that she happens to be an african american, lesbian & neo-conservative sympathiser/manipulator.
I wonder if her partner will stand by her if an Interntional War Crimes Tribunal is convened. She., Powell, Wilson, Rumsfeld, cheney and Bush might be in big trouble, ala Goering, Ribbentrop, Hesse, et al.
Rice and Bean – yummmmmm!
Now we finally know what fits between the gap in her teeth
I am more appalled at the gap between her ears. As evidenced by little things like buying shoes and attending Spamalot when New Orleans was demolished. Oh, and that small business about not taking seriously the briefing that crossed her desk entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike Inside U.S." with a reference to airplanes.
Back in the day, I admired her. She speaks Russian, she's a professional caliber pianist, a sports expert. But no, in reality, just another Bush Family sycophant/retainer/kiss-ass, that's all.
Condi could do so much better, but oh well. I hope she is a lesbian and comes out soon.
