Condoleezza Rice Has Been ‘Playing A Lot’ Of Golf During Iraq War

[RedEarth]

In May, President Bush revealed that he had given up playing golf because of the Iraq war. “I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal,” said Bush. But apparently Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice doesn’t feel the same way. While at the AT&T National golf tournament this weekend, Rice gave an interview to the Golf Channel and said she’s been “playing and playing a lot” since the war began:

QUESTION: Now, I understand you started your Independence Day weekend with a round of golf?

RICE: I did. I have my family here and some friends, and so we went out and we hit a few yesterday. I don’t get out often enough because I’m traveling all the time most of the time, but we did. We played 18.

QUESTION: Now, how did you get hooked? I know you started playing golf about, what, four years ago? What about the game –

RICE: Well, it’ll actually be three years this year, three years in August that I’ve been playing and playing a lot. A lot for me.
