Condoleezza Rice Follows Sports, Writes About It

Dana Perino isn’t the only former Bush administration staffer with a new job. Condoleezza Rice, who served as secretary of state under the former president, recently took a gig at the Daily Beast where she will be covering — no, not politics, as we assumed — sports. Who knew Rice had such a thing for playing games?
This week, Rice tells readers all about her experience at the Masters in Augusta last week. While she wanted fellow Stanford alum Tiger Woods to take the cake, his loss only proves that Rice can be a good sport: She immediately cheered for a lesser-known player:
Not so for 48-year-old Kenny Perry. After my favorite golfers were out of it, my heart turned to him. When he made that great shot on 16, you could see the wonder in his eyes. You felt it was the moment of his career. He could not finish: But what a gentleman and what a thrill.
This new development makes us wonder: Will Rice, seen here with PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem, cover the winter Olympics in Vancouver? And, if she does, will she play well with other foreign journalists? We have a feeling the answer is "yes."

?????? Where did that come from L.C???
Condi is so cool…. do what you want chica! I think it’s awesome that she’s not taking the usual path (a la George Stephanopolous) and doing political commentary. She may come back to it, but for now, just have fun!
