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.

Constantly documented. Condoleezza Rice is "mildy pro-choice," which is the same as being "a little bit pregnant."

For security reasons she should not attend this game.

Gee I can pick out a sentence or two as well if you can....
What I do think is that we should not have the federal government in a position where it is forcing its views on one side or the other. So, for instance, I've tended to agree with those who do not favor federal funding for abortion, because I believe that those who hold a strong moral view on the other side should not be forced to fund it.”

that's what I am saying!!

Well, I hope Condi becomes commish. And George Will wants to be baseball commish. Hey, see there is life after politics and media.
To: wagglebee
I would prefer that Condi not attend the Super Bowl.
She -- her person -- is a major national security asset.
I don't buy into the hysterical fear of a terror strike, but it is something to be considered.
If the administration wants to raise its colors there, why not send someone we could spare, like Norm Mineta?

From the Washington Times:Describing pro-lifers as "the other side" is one of the ways Miss Rice articulates her position as a "mildly pro-choice" Republican. She explained that she is "in effect kind of libertarian on this issue," adding: "I have been concerned about a government role."

Let me make this simple for you Doug:
George Allen will be POTUS.
VP is a toss-up, but it will probably be Guiliani.
Condi Rice will be Commissioner of the NFL. George W. Bush will be Commissioner of Baseball.

now if we could ONLY get her to be a Buckeye fan as well....
To: MikeinIraq
What is your point? Are you saying that Rice is against legalized abortion? In that case, you'd be calling her a liar.
