- A pressing issue of dinner-party etiquette is vexing
Washington, according to a story now making the D.C. rounds: How should
you react when your guest, in this case national-security adviser Condoleezza
Rice, makes a poignant faux pas? At a recent dinner party hosted by New
York Times D.C. bureau chief Philip Taubman and his wife, Times reporter
Felicity Barringer, and attended by Arthur Sulzberger Jr., Maureen Dowd,
Steven Weisman, and Elisabeth Bumiller, Rice was reportedly overheard saying,
"As I was telling my husb-" and then stopping herself abruptly,
before saying, "As I was telling President Bush." Jaws dropped,
but a guest says the slip by the unmarried politician, who spends weekends
with the president and his wife, seemed more psychologically telling than
incriminating. Nobody thinks Bush and Rice are actually an item. A National
Security Council spokesman laughed and said, "No comment."

has explained the meaning of this new Rice faux pax and its meaning.

- Sender, Berl & Sons Inc. in a radio interview just
last evening in Washington D.C. pointed out that Colin Powell's now public
disclosure of a "separate government" operating from within the
Bush administration allows the public to reassess Rice's role as a cover
for those complicit in the deeds of 9-11.Rice, perhaps based on our own
public analysis of the deep dynamics of her true role, widely accessed
and read globally, probably now responds to the recognition that everyone
from father to son has played her to the hilt. She further has concluded
that her previous honest deferral to Cheney and "his experience"
was part and parcel of the shadow government playing her the fool, now
one that has to politically abandon her. Thus Rice is in a parallel psychological
dynamic to Marilyn Monroe in her telling slip at Madison Square Garden
some 40 years ago.
