I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but am I the only one who thinks this is inappropriate? Between Iraq, a terrorist organization taking control of the Palestinians, and Iraq on the verge of getting nukes, I would think the Secretary of State would have way too much work to do right now to attend the Super Bowl.

last part should read "Iran".

I would think the Secretary of State would have way too much work to do right now to attend the Super Bowl.

And exactly HOW MUCH do you think gets done on a Sunday night?

I am not flaming, jpl, but...I hope Ms. Rice has a wonderful time. You know what they say about all work and no play. I bet those administration types can contact her if needed. I think her being there is symbolic...Ford Field is so safe for the game that the Secretary of State can attend. And besides...she has come out as being a Steeler fan (at least for Sunday). I bet she mets Gladys Bettis (the Bus's mom)...now that is a photo-op.

Even the president goes to his ranch for some r&r. I think Condi can take a couple of hours.

God took off 24 hours during the week when He created the planet on which the nations exist, and yet He is not generally viewed as being derelict in His duties. Maybe we can allow Dr. Rice a few hours. Unfortunately for her, she'll probably still be "on call"...so much for time off. Hope you'll allow yourself to watch the game if you're interested. :)
