off to manila

Flying to Manila this evening, back on Monday morning. Probably won’t have email access while there except if I can find some free WiFi hotspots.
Hey, here’s a question for you. If McCain was so hot to nominate a woman for the Veep slot, why didn’t he pick Condoleeza Rice? Whether or not you disagree with her stance on the issues – she’s smart, capable, attractive, female and black. Wouldn’t she have gone great on the ticket? So why not her? Apparently because she might be gay.
“It was the persistent rumors about her sexuality that ultimately killed her chances and removed her from the list,” says the mid-level RNC official. “In Washington circles, it’s just assumed Rice is gay and nobody really cares. But in the glare of the media spotlight, those rumors were bound to get magnified a thousandfold and the mainstream media would have had an excuse to reveal the facts that would have caused conniption fits among the Republican base.”
I don’t think that’s interfered with her performance on her current job. But then, just think about this for a moment … female, black, gay and Republican? What alternate universe have we stumbled into here?
(Then again, that same blog claims that Elvis was both gay and Jewish.)
Who knew Colbert would look so cute with a ‘fro and no glasses?
