Important Update: citizenx just alerted me that Rice is also known to speak French
A new round of outings of high-profile Republicans is occurring, and the most recent person caught up in this is none other than Secretary of State Condolezza Rice. WP Reporter Glen Kessler reveals the information that causes one to raise questions in his new book about her.
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.
Bean explained the joint ownership and line of credit to Kessler by saying she had medical bills which left her financially drained and Rice helped her by co-purchasing the house along with a third person, Coit Blacker, a Stanford professor who is openly gay.
Blacker later sold his line of credit to Rice and Bean.
None of this, of course, proves that she is liberal. However, it raises a lot of questions and has triggered rumors that she is.
Why would she deny someone who was "down on their luck" the opportuity to "pull themselves up by their bootstraps?"
Why wouldn't she point Randy Bean proudly to the marketplace, with a hearty wink that, if she has the drive she will make it here in the land of opportunity.
Now some say that this is evidence that Rice may be gay, I say it is stronger evidence of a more sinister failing to any Republican.
The woman has a heart, and she has money to act on it.
Trumpet the news loud and clear. She is secretly a kind person, and has a liberal friend.
Next diary: Condoleeza Rice may be single, childless, and successful.
Alert the natalists of the Republican party.
