I appreciate that Rice, Culter and Noonan have done heavy lifting for the GOP, but are these unmarried, attractive, middle-aged women:

• Like the nuns from past generations?

• Workaholics who are unbalanced and hollow?

• Not attracted to men?

• What else?

I haven't the foggiest notion. "Too busy to look" would be my guess. I tend to discount the "closet lesbian" hypothesis; in today's world of Jerry Springer and tabloids, when a public figure is gay, word always gets around. Was Elton John's "coming out" any surprise? Rosie O'Donnell's? Ellen DeGeneris'? If Dr. Rice were a lesbian, I'm almost certain we'd know it by now. She's pushing fifty.

I do know a few thirtyish-fortyish hetero single gals. From what I've heard, they find it difficult to meet quality guys who share their values and ideas. "I don't go to bars, and I won't date people I work with. The only place left to meet decent men is at church -- and all of them are are either already married or celibate!" Add to that the time squeeze of a big-shot career and you've got a recipe for spinsterhood.

Sure, they could be homosexual. So could the guy next door with three kids. Until I have some evidence to go on besides old-maidhood, it's "hetero until proven homo" as far as I'm concerned.

your not so subtle attack on those fine ladies is very telling of who you are...that's for sure...

growing up Catholic, and attending Catholic school for 16 yrs....I can tell you that the old-fashioned nuns who taught me were not only brilliant, light hearted and joyous, but also pretty in their own way....they chose to be nuns....

I agree with whoever said that they love Condi Rice like a dtr....I do too, except I am not that old yet....lol.....

Condi Rice is a jewel.....whether she is an absolutist on every ideal that a lot of us share is not really that important...what is important is that we know she is at least seeking knowledge in the right place....

She was engaged in college. I read that in a bio. Why not since then? I dunno. But realistically how many men would measure up to her in the circles in which she travels?

Or maybe it's just none of my business
