Rice Bucks Tradition With Pre-Election Appearances


By Glenn Kessler
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, November 4, 2006; A03



It was an unusual question for a secretary of state.

"Did you dress up as a liberal" for Halloween, conservative commentator Laura Ingraham asked on her radio show yesterday. "No, no, no," Condoleezza Rice replied. "I didn't dress up as anything."

Two weeks before crucial midterm elections that could tip the balance of power in Congress, Rice has been on a media blitz that appears aimed mainly at conservative media outlets, particularly radio talk shows. Secretary of state is traditionally a nonpartisan position, and Rice's media itinerary differs sharply from the practice of her predecessors during election campaigns, according to State Department records.

Rice has given nine interviews on radio, starting with three appearances on Oct. 24 during "Radio Day," when 42 radio hosts, most of them conservatives, were invited to the White House to spread the administration's message to President Bush's political base.

In the past two days, Rice has appeared on four radio shows, including that of Ingraham, a best-selling author for her books that attack liberal "elites"; Bill Cunningham, a Cincinnati conservative; and Glenn Beck, another conservative, who appears on nearly 200 stations.

2. Nothing' like trotting out the worst Sec. of State & worst
National Security Advisor in American history to bolster your crappy party's increasingly doomed shot at prevailing in a midterm.

Yeah, that Karl Rove's a real genius.

4. I can see the logic behind her enthusiastic support of the
criminal cabal.
If (when) the congress is taken over by other than the fascist sympathizers cum rubber stamp artists, the corruption and criminal facilitation thus revealed will prove beyond even our own cynical prognostications. It's much worse than even we imagine.
She is fighting for her credibility and perhaps even her life or freedom.

6. "as I was saying to my husba....
"...except that she has never been married. At a dinner party while Rice was National Security Advisor, she referred to President George W. Bush as "my husband" before abruptly correcting herself.
