COMING: Condi's "candid narrative and acute analysis" of "her role in protecting America"
Condoleezza Rice agrees to a three-book deal
Contract will begin with a memoir about her time in the Bush White House



Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has agreed to a three-book deal with Crown Publishers, starting with a memoir about her years in the administration of President George W. Bush.

"Rice will combine candid narrative and acute analysis to tell the story of her time in the White House and as America's top diplomat, and her role in protecting American security and shaping foreign policy during the extraordinary period from 2001-2009," according to a statement issued Sunday by Crown, a division of Random House Inc. Crown also published then-Sen. Barack Obama's "The Audacity of Hope."

Rice's book is planned for 2011.

The deal is worth at least $2.5 million, according to two publishing officials with knowledge of the negotiations. The officials asked not to be identified, citing the confidentiality of the talks.

2. It should be...
...the concept of paying this woman $2.5 million for anything other than boarding the space shuttle on a one-way journey from Earth is truly galling.

:grr:

8. exactly. she is the biggest idiot in the U.S. with a doctorate. dumbest f in the world
as far as I am concerned, with more reasons to know better besides. dumb idiotic fuck that thinks she is so smart, and how many American lives has she cost?

I wouldn't come close to any book for which she has any part. From the first time I saw her "prepping" for the Republican convention in which GWB to be nominated, I thought she was an idiot, despite feminist friends of mine saying how fucking inspirational a figure she was, I was saying then that she is a fucking stupid TOAD.

On top of that, she denies her heritage and the value of Affirmative Action, similar to Clarence Thomas; she is a total fuck.

3. Surely Condi will be unabashedly candid about her and the administration's failure to
protect America from the known impending attacks of 9-11, the how, whys, whole unvarnished garbanzo. :P

14. Here Are The Working Titles...
1.) How I became an expert on countries and cultures I have no clue about

2.) How I spent years at being as inept and incompetent as possible.

3.) My exciting sex life.

3 books, 3 pages...now pay up.

Talk about people throwing money away. I'll bet even the book bundlers at Worldnut Daily wouldn't touch this thing.

17. Does she think she won't have to defend what she says in her book?
Edited on Sun Feb-22-09 06:51 PM by lunatica
By 2011 Americans will know so much more about the truth that her spin will only create backlash for her. And she'll have to do the book signing rounds with Code Pink in attendance at every turn. Plus the free speech zones will be gone and she'll actually have to see the people who know about and object to her lies and her book.

And with a little luck she'll turn into a pariah at Stanford where the only place she'll find peace is in the Hoover Institute with old has been decrepit white men

22. I want to read the chapter on her Russian triumph.
Seeing how she was an 'expert' on all things Soviet.

That little escapade that BushCo cooked up with Georgia right at the end of the reign, and her complete mis-read of an overwhelming military response by Putin made her look like a fool.

She is an absolute fraud.
