WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she was too young and too busy to feel much effect from the social changes of the late 1960s.

"I was very young at the time of the counterculture. I was 12 or 13," Rice, 50, told an interviewer this week. "And I was a music major. All I did was play the piano and ice skate. And so I don't think I focused very much on the counterculture. "

Rice did not answer Fox News Channel reporter James Rosen's question about whether she ever did drugs. She suggested he return to asking questions about foreign policy.

But Rosen was on a roll. He also asked Rice whether she would like to have any superpowers. "Superpowers?" said Rice, the most powerful woman in the Bush administration and arguably one of the most powerful people in the world, period. Rosen tried again, and got this response: "I'd like to be able to see through walls."

1. "All I did was play the piano and ice skate...

and kill puppies and bunnies."

:evilgrin:

2. Uhh--she was a little older than 12 or 13 when the counterculture

was at it's peak. I think she's 50--same age as me. Drugs were big all through my high school and college years (1969-1977). What a bogus answer. What's she hiding?

[opihimoimoi]

3. She is hiding her poor inadequate brain....only good for excuses

but not for solving...She is not going to help America just as Karen Hughes is not...Both should go home.

13. hate to be devil's advocate, but...

i think she may be the sharpest person in the white house. i kow she speaks fluent russian, was a concert level pianist, and was a balck female ceo in the the male dominated oil industry. if she didn't work for the dark side, i wouldn't have to qualify my respect as 'grudging.' intellectually, i have to respect her. moro-ethically... not a chance.

[opihimoimoi]

18. We saw her for 5.9 years and I still don't see it.

She may have worked ofr the dark side but then so did many others and all too many are dull as shit. Despite her speaking Russian and playing a piano,,,,I still maintain she lacks the right stuff.

Where was her warnings about what turns out as 9/11? She was the Nat Sec Advisor for gods sake.

What GOOD has she done so far in all these years? I just don't see it. Results to date are too shabby.

[Beaverhausen]

21. The good she has done was to do exactly what Cheney/Bush wanted her to do

She is their little lapdog. She backs up their lies. That's why her incompetence as Nat't Security Advisor got her a promotion to Secretary of State.

:puke:

6. I'm 50 too

I was enthralled with what was happening in the "counter culture." I wanted to be right in the middle of it.

[Fleshdancer]

4. seeing through walls is a stupid super power

I would want to read minds...which would be pretty useful if I were Sec. of State. :)

[ChairmanAgnostic]

8. Condi "Peeper" Rice. She likes to watch?

I wonder if George and Laura let her? Oh dear. that thought is too frightening to even contemplate.

[AntiCoup2K4]

12. But totally useless if you work for a Chimp

That would be light reading with his empty mind.

[koopie57]

5. she doesn't feel the effects

from the social changes of the 60s? Had it not been for those who gave their lives and fought during the 60s would she be where she is at?

[karynnj]

10. What would the woman's or the civil rights movement have to

do with her. MLK was killed in 1968. I'm older but I remember every detail of hearing that JFK was killed when I was the age she was in 1968. Certainly that should have had an impact.

I knew many music majors (I went to IU). They were aware of the social changes in the 60s.

[Thtwudbeme]

7. I think she was being honest; does anyone remember her Oprah interview?

She told Oprah that she was from an upper middle class family and that her mother marched her into "white stores" in Birmingham, AL, and intimidated the white clerks into shutting up.

Miss Condi was VERY spoiled, and very insulated from the political unrest of Birmingham...right to the point where she admitted to knowing "of" one of those children killed in the bombing.

This woman has been raised to be exactly what she is today; a soul-less, coldly analytical pseudointellectual bitch.

[koopie57]

20. the reason her mom

could be so bold was due to the fact that so many had fought before them. Had she tried that 10 years prior, I don't think she could have gotten away with it.

[tonkatoy57]

9. Maybe if she would have tried the right drugs

She would be able to see through walls.

I don't know, windowpane worked for me.

[underpants]

11. She played piano AND ice skated at the same time?

Wow what a wonderful personal story.

[gratuitous]

14. Oh, so she was another one of those losers

Hell, I just turned 47 and I was not only aware of the counterculture, but participated in it. Never too deeply, but hell, you had to be a loser of the first water to have gotten out of the 1970s without knowing what pot smelled like or to have been offered thai stick, even if you did turn it down.

If I could do than in some backwater town in Oregon, then what kind of sheltered existence has the Secretary of Stinkeye led? And is such a person qualified to be in a position of responsibility? I say no.

[underpants]

15. No only losers use drugs

WINNERS didn't do that....or go outside much

[Bridget Burke]

16. As we all know, drugs disappeared in 1970....

(Sick laughter.)

[Mabus]

17. It's like this

If she did drugs it was because of Satan. Then she found God and all is forgiven. Ask Connie Morris Unnatural Selection: The strange redemption of Connie Morris, high school slut turned Kansas State Board of Education anti-evolutionist.

It happens all the time with Repugs. :sarcasm:

[kwassa]

19. Rice probably did smoke pot a couple of times and can't say so

because after 35-40 years it is still not politically o.k. to admit using drugs in your youth, even though virtually everyone did.

Clinton didn't inhale, remember?
