Secretary of State Rice is not only brilliant, original, imaginative, accomplished, and highly educated--she is also courageous.
It must be hard on these people, to whom saving face and the opinions of their fellow travelers are of overriding importance, to be humiliated by a woman.
Wha... racists? Palestinians? Arab press?
NNNNNAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW!!
"Is Condi single or married?"
Never married.
Evidently, after working for Bush 41 as an under-secretary to Brent Scowcroft, she left the government and moved to California to work in acadamia and to 'pursue a family' or something to that effect. Upon returning to government to work for Bush 43, a reporter (which one I do not recall) inquired of her task to pursue a private life and family and Condi responded "well, if that was my goal, then I have failed".
If she wants a family and hasn't met Mr. Right, my heart goes out to her. I hope she'll find him. It would be a shame to miss that.

November 8 2002 - Iraqi Sermon [FBIS Report]
Baghdad Republic of Iraq Television in Arabic, official television station of the Iraqi Government, carries on 8 November 2002 at 0901 GMT a live sermon from Abd-al-Qadir al-Jaylani mosque in Baghdad.
Shaykh Dr. Abd-al-Razzaq al-Sa'di delivers the sermon, which he begins by welcoming the month of Ramadan, emphasizing the importance of praying, fasting, reading the Koran, and giving charity in this month.
The imam alludes to Islamic jihad in early Islam and says Muslims are in dire need of this virtue, especially in this critical hour through which the Islamic nation is challenged "by Jews and crusaders, Americans and British," he says. "They think," he adds, "that they can intimidate us with their bombs, missiles, and sophisticated technology." But, we have the power of the Almighty God on our side, he says.
The imam then lets off an emotional tirade: "Who are you, O scum of earth? Who are you, O sons of monkeys and pigs, to threaten Muhammad? God is his Lord." He goes on: "Who are you Bush, you tiny midget, to threaten Muhammad and the sons of Muhammad? By God, we defy you with our words before our weapons. Who are you to threaten our sentiments and sanctities? May you be damned."
