Secretary of State, who keeps private life shrouded, co-owns home with female filmmaker

[PageOneQ]

Source: PageOneQ

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice co-owned a home and shared a line of credit with another woman, according to Washington Post diplomatic correspondent Glenn Kessler, who reveals the information in his new book, The Confidante: Condoleezza Rice and the Creation of the Bush Legacy.

Kessler discussed the revelations with talk-show host and gay author Michaelangelo Signorile Friday on his Sirius Radio show.

According to the book, Rice owns a home together with Randy Bean, a documentary filmmaker who once worked with Bill Moyers. Kessler made the discovery by looking through real estate records.

1. Well, well, WELL. THIS is interesting.

Just that at the moment...interesting.

[defendandprotect]

27. Imagining any kind of human emotion from Rice -- hetero or homo -- is difficult -- !!!!

[tom_paine]

110. Well, they say Goebbels was a kindly and devoted family man

If he can simulate human emotion, a lesser monster like Rice easily could, also.

[truthisfreedom]

2. Remember how bush destroyed Ann Richards in 1994 with unfounded allegations of her being gay?

[Kikosexy2]

16. Rice and Bean(s)...

added with Chicken (Bush) and Sausage (Dick Cheney)...jumbalaya anyone?

[TexasLawyer]

30. Good one!

75. If Bean were embarassed about it, it would be....

93. Pass thanks.

Had it before, pretty hard on the stomache, politically speaking.

109. Jumbalaya? More like Dumbo-Lie-ah.

That is the sorry stew you get when you mix rice, her friend Bean, and duhbya (chicken) and the dick (sausage).

[Algorem]

116. how Randy is she? now we know what could have Bean.

What...horrible...thing...could have Bean.

[Honeycombe8]

117. Very clever! nt

3. I could care less if she is gay, but the hypocrisy of supporting

an admin that is so anti-gay is beyond me.

[Dr.Phool]

5. That kind of behavior is rampant with repukes.

In the 2004 Florida US Senate primary, a couple of days before the primary, Mel Martinez went on a rampage accusing wing-nut, and Clinton prosecutor Bill McCollum of being a tool of the homosexual agenda. Never mind that Martinez' senior campaign staff were gay.

It got so vicious that the St. Pete Times pulled their endorsement of Martinez.

[Malidictus Maximus]

13. How many gays

are still in the closet when it means keeping a good paying job?
I have no idea but there must be a few.
Perhaps she just as a roommate? Might be kind of silly for a single person to have a house all to themselves, especially if pulling long days, frequent trips and intending to relocate back to Stanford.
Not that I care for *ANY* of the members of PNAC;-)

now I'm straight (but not narrow) but I've worked for comapnies that did things I loathed, gotta be a 'good German', you know:-)

[Bitwit1234]

42. I don't think I have heard rice come out against gays.

In fact I have not heard of her ever making a statement either way. I do know that when she first came into the news, some of the media did question her lack of "boy friends" but it dropped off in a hurry and was forgotten. Since she does not pan gays I don't see anything wrong with her being a lesiban, if she is.

I think I know why republicans who are gay joined the republican party. Since as long as I can remember, the republicans knocked gays, gay marriage, gay partners etc, a gay person joined the republicans because they thought they would be safe and no one would ever find out. But it seems they might as saved themselves the trouble, since it is now coming to light. All lawmakers gay or otherwise should have the guts of Barney Frank. Come out and tell the world if they don't like it,,,,GET OVER IT.

6. ah, but she is cured you know as now has a 'hub...." all is well

7. "Silence," he added, "gives consent."

......Rice faced attacks from liberals in the gay community over the State Department's silence to rebuke Iran for the hanging of gay teenagers. The gay rights lobby Human Rights Campaign called on Rice in 2005 to condemn Iran's human rights abuses after the hanging of two gay teenagers, and to express indignation over "other horrific human rights abuses against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people across the globe."

Rice did not.

The Secretary has remained silent on whether gays should be allowed to serve in the military and has not commented on the permanent partners immigration act.

Andy Humm, a New York gay journalist who discussed the Iran hangings on his TV show Gay USA, says Rice's silence gives "consent."

"Condi Rice works for an administration that uses attacks on gay rights to win votes," Humm told Raw Story. "She has stood by silently while the President has proposed writing anti-gay discrimination into the Constitution of the United States. Whenever she is given the opportunity to distance herself from their anti-gay polices she punts."

"Silence," he added, "gives consent."

[rodeodance]

10. "After she became secretary of state, she came to a party at Blacker's house, kicked off her shoes,

"After she became secretary of state, she came to a party at Blacker's house, kicked off her shoes, and began dancing through the night to rock and and roll," Kessler wrote. "Blacker, who is gay, wanted to show his partner how tight her behind is; he postulated that if he aimed a quarter at her butt, it would bounce off like a rocket. He was right. Rice, who was dancing, didn't realize what he had done until everyone began laughing hysterically. She was flattered -- and proud."

The blogger who first posted emails about former Rep. Mark Foley's (R-FL) solicitation of male Congressional pages, Lane Hudson, also questions Rice's silence.

[NJCher]

8. read the whole article--it's an eye-opener

And there's another book that came out awhile ago that made me even question whether Rice is even a Republican. She must be some kind of principle-less person with no conscience who can mold herself into whatever.



Cher

[rodeodance]

12. yes, very

[A HERETIC I AM]

19. How many Democrats have Oil Tankers named after them?

OK...it USED to be named after her

[On the Road]

24. Armand Hammer Had a Whole Fleet of Oil Tankers

whether any were named after him, I don't know.

[A HERETIC I AM]

26. Good point. n/t

[cui bono]

89. But he has baking soda named after him.

Doesn't he?

;)

[n2doc]

60. "principle-less person with no conscience " Sounds like a Republican to me!

That seems to be the definition of their leadership nowadays.

[yardwork]

61. I have heard from sources who knew her at Stanford that she is known to be gay

and also that she is known to care only about power and money.

[ChicagoRonin]

11. Perhaps Condi is Bi

Bi-opportunistic, that is.

[truthisfreedom]

101. Maybe both bush and condi are bi. That may explain her tolerance of Gannon/Guckert.

Maybe that's what really drives Laura crazy.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

14. It's the hypocrisy that gets me

I don't care who does what in their personal lives - I welcome diversity and understanding. But I DETEST the rampant hypocrisy of the Repukes.

My best friend from law school has never married and owns a home with a woman. Don't know if she's gay - have never asked, and it really doesn't matter to me. So I don't find this shocking. Again, it's the hypocrisy I find absolutely nauseating.

[drm604]

15. I just read the article and to be fair

I don't think this story is evidence that she's a lesbian. She didn't live with the woman. She helped her with some credit problems.

However, other things in the article show major hypocrisy on her part.

[lovuian]

17. Surprise Surprise Surprise!!!

Condi has been toted by the Russians as gay so maybe they knew more than we did

[blm]

18. Wonder where Gwen Ifill fits in to the scenario.

There's no automatic disclosure requirement in her office. I care that (not if, THAT) she lies and works as a paid mouthpiece for what is arguably one of the five most corrupt Administrations in America's history.

[gateley]

31. I can understand those in the closet being fearful to come out if they have

families they feel it would hurt. What I can't understand is why someone who is gay would be simpatico to a party that is so intolerant of gays. In addition to the stress of keeping such a thing secret, the directive to paint gays as being sinners, whatever, must be almost unbearable.

If she is a lesbian do you suppose Bush knows?

And the Republicans should realize that the reason so many of their gay members are being outed is because of their vicious, vile attacks on the individuals who are of that persuasion. Got to admit I get a huge wave of schadenfreude when someone who themselves has disparaged homosexuals gets nailed. Like Craig.

32. They both love God and Football

Rice earned her PhD in international relations at Denver in 1981, and became an assistant professor at Stanford, where the football program was flagging. She went to every home game anyway, and met her best friend in the process -- Randy Bean, also a daughter of a minister who raised her to love football.

"People ask how we became friends and I always say, 'God and football,' " said Bean, a documentary filmmaker for Stanford. "I could forgive Condi her politics because she loved football, and likewise she could forgive mine."

And do they even live there? Or is it an investment property.

I don't know if she's gay and I don't care. I spent a fair amount of time at Stanford during the Clinton Admin and I've never heard any rumors about Condi.

But I think there are legitimate reasons for co-owning a property there.

And if she were gay and trying to hide it -- don't you think she'd do a better job? Everyone knows property records are public info.

[durtee librul]

96. And it also means Rover slipped up and missed a record

that probably would have been made top secret.

I don't care if she's gay, and yes, I bet jr knows it and thinks he can reform her....you know, much like the good Dr Frist could tell Terry Schiavo was alive and well and just trapped in a useless body via videotape.

They all make me sick and the sooner we can escort them out of the wh, the better.

Let's see, that had to be one helluva partay.....

Jeff and Jr
Karl and whoever his squeeze was at the moment from the madam
Condi and her friend...

Yep, if only walls could talk. The wh walls would probably tell us Clinton should have been granted sainthood.

35. And this means....nothing. eom

[jsamuel]

36. Hmm. I wonder if this is why she won't run for President.

A gay, black, woman for Republican ticket? That would shake the foundations of the Republican party.

[Ediacara]

63. Actually I think that it would be right at home with the foundation of the Republicans

Lincoln's party was a radical ultra-liberal party, the modern party is nothing like its foundation.

Really do not care about her sexual orientation, it's her stupid politics that suck!:eyes:

71. Of course, Aaron McGruder hinted at this in Boondocks for weeks.

The brilliant Aaron McGruder had his characters in Boondocks all trying to "help Condi find a man" and wondering why she didn't "have a man". Aaron was simply funning with what George and Laura and Dick and Liz know: Condi is a lesbian, a self-hating one which makes it all so sad.

I applaud that Rice had the ability to help out a good friend.

I know that my best friend would do the same (and vice versa) if we could.

but she shouldn't stand by while her boss and her party exploit them for political gain. Don't you agree?

that Rice is gay just from this. :shrug:


And either way I still wouldn't care.

115. Yes, I agree. I'm sort of surprised that Condoleesa HAS a friend.

But, that's good. Everyone needs a friend.
I am not at all convinced they are more than friends.

I think this is going in the wrong direction.
LOOK PEOPLE, Condoleeza Rice is NOT a LESBIAN.

(okay, so I don't know for sure, but I would bet $50 she isn't.)
And I don't like to bet money.

You are BEING PLAYED (not directed at Tammywammy). :)

Edit: I meant to say, anyone who is biting at this all republicans are gay bait is BEING PLAYED. Go ahead and bite at the stupid shiny lure. Condoleeza Rice is "probably not" gay, and who cares, anyway? As far as I'm concerned, she's not vocal against gays, so who really cares what her orientation is?

This is SHINY BAIT.

That such a neocon would hang out with someone that worked the liberal Bill Moyers.

[Heywood J]

46. Yeah, right.

Perhaps the most popular remaining high-profile figure in the Bush Administration,

Among who, Rapturists?

Rice was put forth as to succeed Bush by many of her backers. She declined, repeatedly, offers to run for president in 2008, and will return to Stanford upon her departure from the White House.

Why would they want her back? What university short of ORU or BJU would want someone from that administration teaching? Talk about bringing the institution into disrepute. At very best, she'd only just have to leave again to attend her war-crimes tribunal.

[Neecy]

84. oh, I'm sure she'll be back

Stanford is hardly a liberal hotbed - she'll probably end up at the Hoover Institution, a well-known refuge for conservative hacks. She'll fit right in, believe me.

[pink-o]

95. Exactly

...she can go hang out with her old pal Rummy!

[Jersey Ginny]

100. Is Randy Bean a lesbian?

[scarface2004]

103. yes

[DU9598]

54. SECURITY CLEARANCE ISSUES

I believe that Condi Rice should be immediately called forth to answer to whether or not she is homosexual or bisexaul. The major premise of the military's don't ask, don't tell policy is that gay men and women can be blackmailed due to their sexual orientation and thus they are security risks. Condi was National Security Advisor and is now Secretary of State. I assume she has the highest security clearance allowable.

What is fair for the men and women in uniform - answering about their sexual orientation due to security concerns - is certainly fair for Secretary Rice.

[Baby Snooks]

76. But she's a Republican...

The law doesn't apply to Republicans. Neither does military policy.

She's just another hypocrite in an administration of hypocrites. And just another liar in an administration of liars. If she were asked, she might not tell. Not the truth anyway.

[lanlady]

92. those days are long gone

when your sexual orientation could jeopardize your security clearance. Fortunately.

The mi;itary's stance toward gays is a separate issue, has nothing to do with clearances.

[Joanne98]

55. Blacker bounced a quarter off her butt to show his partner how tight it was!

"After she became secretary of state, she came to a party at Blacker's house, kicked off her shoes, and began dancing through the night to rock and and roll," Kessler wrote. "Blacker, who is gay, wanted to show his partner how tight her behind is; he postulated that if he aimed a quarter at her butt, it would bounce off like a rocket. He was right. Rice, who was dancing, didn't realize what he had done until everyone began laughing hysterically. She was flattered -- and proud."

[cascadiance]

62. I think Condi Rice is very power focused... Another story about her earlier life...

Condi I think probably has a lot of inconsistent private stories with what is her "public persona" in the Bush administration, and I think personally she's driven by what gives her more power in any hierarchy than being consistent with what she does privately and her personal friends.

She also was a music major early on when she went to the University of Denver before she was at Stanford. At Denver, she switched from being a music major to international studies by her mentor Professor Josef Korbel in that department, who was none other than Madeline Albright's father. We have Madeline Albright's father to thank for Condi Rice being in government today rather than being someplace else.

My father also happened to have Dr. Korbel as his mentor at Denver, and that is why we also lived overseas with his degree and specialty as I was growing up.

When Madeline Albright was on James Zogby show some months back, she talked about Condi and how at one point, she tried to recruit Condi to work on Dukakis' campaign, and Condi replied back that she couldn't because she was a Republican. Madeline Albright said something to the effect of her belief that she probably channeled her father (he's passed away now) better than Condi! :)

[goodhue]

64. Football fascinates her because it resembles war

http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A1547-2005Feb5?language=printer

Rice has said football fascinates her in part because it so resembles war -- the strategy, the object of controlling territory, the air and ground attacks. Indeed, presidents and policy makers have often noted the resemblance and some analysts have called football "war without death." But long before Rice loved military strategy, she loved football.

"She thought Jim Brown was the greatest thing since sliced bread," says Rick Upchurch, a former Denver Bronco and all-pro kick returner who dated Rice in the 1970s when she was a University of Denver doctoral student. "She loved the way he played the game because he was aggressive and he went after what he wanted. And that's the way she was, she went after things she wanted. She knew how to strategize and get control."

[goodhue]

73. and she loves football

http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A1547-2005Feb5?language=printer

Rice earned her PhD in international relations at Denver in 1981, and became an assistant professor at Stanford, where the football program was flagging. She went to every home game anyway, and met her best friend in the process -- Randy Bean, also a daughter of a minister who raised her to love football.

66. Not that it matters, but she isn't necessarily a lesbian

When I lived in Minneapolis twenty years ago, I knew two women who had bought a house together. Neither had any gentleman friends, so I just assumed that they were lesbians.

When I moved back here and reconnected with some of my friends from former days, I found that both women are now married to men. I don't know what happened to the house.

2) Are they mentally ill to belong to a group that speaks out against their own so viciously?
3) Do they find the closet sexually arousing?

[FatDave]

104. Holy crap, you may be on to something

(Technically Sarah, that was three questions, but who's counting? :))

But I wonder if you're right about #3. Maybe being in the closet is the best part to them, so the more more they have to hide it (say from fellow republicans) the more sexually gratified they are.
