The official guest list of people attending the dinner for Queen Elizabeth says:

Condoleezza Rice, secretary of state, and Gene A. Washington.

3. He's handsome and black. How'd she hook him?

8. He's clearly a conservative .... and

... got bit parts in several movies back in the 70s. Three of those movies were part of a genre called "blaxploitation" films ... a kind of Hollywood mercantilism with a somewhat noxious odor.

12. IMO, he is just a "Suit" that she takes to

fancy parties.

He doesn't like that crazy witch.

The Chimp likes her cause he is stupid.

9. He's kind of a "hottie." I don't like Rice but good for her. Looks

like she got a good one.

10. Well, they can always chat about football since she hasn't a clue about anything

else going on in the world.
