serendipti's Diaryland Diary 5:08 a.m. - Thursday, May. 20, 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Hus-- i am officially a nocturnal creature...i will leave here in another hour, returning home at 6am once again, but I will have gotten my 100 question goal done, i say this with crossed fingers. I was reading the Boondocks and I HAD to check out whether it had a basis, and sho nuff, Aaron got it right (go to ucomics.com and read the last few strips): Political Conversation: Condi’s Slip 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.” ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
