Condi Rice finds the new man of her dreams
by Dennis Johnson
Twenty-four hours after her term of office ended — or have negotiations been going on on the taxpayer’s dime? — Condoleezza Rice has signed a deal with the William Morris Agency “to pursue opportunities that will likely include books and lectures.” (What’d I tell ya? See the earlier MobyLives report.) According to a brief report by Michael Fleming for Variety, WMA chairman Jim Wiatt said — no kidding, he really said this — that “It is an honor to represent Secretary Rice as she prepares to embark on the next chapter of her incredible career.”
