Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's travels usually take her to far-flung capitals, but this weekend she's planning a journey closer to home and close to her football fan's heart.
Rice says she will attend Super Bowl XL in Detroit, and she's picking the Pittsburgh Steelers to win - even though she doubted the team in its run-up to Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks.
"I picked Pittsburgh to beat Cincinnati; I have picked against them every game since," Rice ruefully told reporters Tuesday. "I'm not picking against them again."
That's not to say she's become a real Steelers fan. Rice is loyal to the Cleveland Browns.
Rice, who can rattle off football statistics and history with ease, has said she might one day like to be commissioner of the National Football League.
She said she attended one previous Super Bowl, in 1985, when she was teaching at Stanford and the game between the Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers was in Palo Alto, Calif.

Condi is just so very cool. I don't like football myself but if she likes it, I like it.

Gene Washington played football for Stanford, played in the NFL, and is currently NFL Director of Operations. He's been Condi's steady date at White House functions. Whether they're more than friends is unclear. Google has images of him.

I'm so glad for Condi..she'll really enjoy herself! And yes, she'll make a great commissioner someday! No doubt she'll get there! Love her.
To: tallhappy
Is Condi dating the Gene Washington who played for the Vikings in the late 60s/early 70s or the Gene Washington who played for the 49ers in the 70s? (Both were All-Pro wide receivers).

Agreed. The smart money is on Condi for President in 2008. Dr. Rice is pro-abortion. She would make a great comissioner.

Dr. Rice is pro-abortion. Often asserted here. Never documented, to my knowledge.

WOOHOOO!!!

no she isn't.
She doesn't think the government should be involved in abortion. She doesn't believe the government should have any say in banning it nor accepting it.
that's LIBERTARIAN. And it's NOT Pro-Abortion in any sense.....
