Obviously in a tight economy publishers will gamble on anything. In times of such despair and hopelessness we need a good laugh at Condi's expense.
NEW YORK — 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 (emphasis added by me after a triple-take/spew-the-coffee lurch)and shaping foreign policy during the extraordinary period from 2001-2009," according to a statement issued today 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.
