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.
That works. I wouldn't be upset to see Condi as VP. The voting patterns of blacks may change forever. They would finally be off the RAT plantation.
If Bud Selig ever leaves the job that due to conflicts of interest he should never have had in the first place, I thing George Bush will be named Commissioner of Baseball.
I'm saying that she says (and it's in the story if you read it) that she doesn't want the government involved in it.
As it should never have been in the first place.
yeah...
mine is already on for my Alabama football crack a few posts up :)
what post, my dear...and we're riding tandem on certain thoughts.

well, isn't she from Tuscaloosa or nearbouts?
What difference does her stance on abortion make? Roe will be overturned by '08 anyway, and will (hopefully) cease to be an issue in presidential politics.
somewhere in Alabama....
I'm not 100% certain without looking it up :)
Do you suppose they'd let her play TE for one play?
Put her opposite Paul Tagliabue. I think she'd kick
his byuttocks.
The possibilty of the term "President Hillary Rodham Clinton" coming to fruition involves the overturning of Roe V. Wade in the next two years.
Thankfully abortion will be a state's rights issue. and we can get onto other more important issues THAT RUN THIS COUNTRY.
I know there's a faction that thinks that any exception makes one "pro-abortion".
I wouldn't be surprised if she did the coin toss.
MikeinIraq, meet georgiagirl3814... She's with us on this issue.
I can respect Browns fans.
who is that?
Have one of the Vikings' Gene Washington from that year (1970) as well. That's the year I started collecting. (I stopped collecting in '75).
