RICE NOTEBOOK: Condi Has a '60s Moment

April 01. 2006 -- Rice has other things to do, but she apparently didn't study up on her Beatles discography before she came.

She looked mystified by a British reporter's reference to the "4,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire," although in fairness she might not have heard the question very well.

No worries, as they say here. Straw leapt in to explain the line from the 1967 Beatles song "A Day in the Life."

The band threw a reference to a newspaper article about the Blackburn roads surveyor's count of 4,000 potholes in the area in "Sgt. Pepper's," Straw said.

At that point, the reporter asked Rice to sing a few bars. She meant the bit about the 4,000 holes. But Rice, in over her head in Beatles trivia and looking sorry she had gotten into the whole thing, woodenly intoned, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band," then left with Straw.

1. She's a loser!

I thought she LOVED the music of the Beatles. Or was that press release meant to be figurative, not literal?

3. A Beatles fan,

Rice had an opportunity to indulge in her passion for the group in its home town of Liverpool, where she returned later Friday.

4. Jeebus. I wonder if she truly speaks fluent Russian or if she can

even play piano.

My 75 year old mother knows Beatle lyrics.

Condileezaba's little trip is looking more and more like a Bigfoot Hughes Tour.

5. I feel like life under BushCo is a combination of "A Day in the Life"

and "Groundhog Day". Every day I think to myself:

I read the news today, OH BOY #%%#&*@*
I read the news today, OH BOY #%%#&*@*
I read the news today, OH BOY #%%#&*@*
I read the news today, OH BOY #%%#&*@*
I read the news today, OH BOY #%%#&*@*
I read the news today, OH BOY #%%#&*@*
I read the news today, OH BOY #%%#&*@*
I read the news today, OH BOY #%%#&*@*

8. It's a turn-down day.

Opposite meaning than the song.
A day in the life with her is a day I would turn-down.
About the only fun with her would be to watch her eat corn on the cob.
