Clarion: Condolezza Rice Comes Back To DU

(above) Condolezza Rice graduated from DU in 1974
by Gigi Sulkin

Former Secretary of State and DU alumna Condoleezza Rice toured DU on Monday, making stops in two International Studies classes to lecture on upcoming threats to the international system and then to conduct a question-and-answer session at the Cable Center at 6 p.m.

An audience of nearly 700 people attended the question-and-answer event at the Cable Center, which was not open to the public to hear Rice recount her political experience and career [read entire article].

Condi was in Denver to watch Stanford Women in the Final Four.

Hopefully she was impressed on her tour of DU.

Chancellor Rice has a nice ring to it. :-)

She should be in jail.

Donald would you please leave, no one wants you here. You are a nuisance.

Donald, your brain should be in jail!

Donald wasn't talking about jailing her for criminally attacking a sovereign country under false pretenses.

He's got the inside scoop on Condi being on Alaska State Troopers and getting busted for illegally shooting a moose. Should be aired later this month.

If Donald hates Condi that's another huge plus in her favor. He only backs losers.

just because D.G. runs the blog should not preclude him from expressing his opinion. They are two seperate issues.
When I was the chair of a jury,many moons ago, I instructed the members that I was responsible for organizing and keeping things flowing in an orderly manner but when I expressed my opinion it was not to have any more importance than any other member. Samo ,samo here. D.G. wears two hats: 1.he runs the blog
2.he is an equal member. Get It?
According to you, D.G. should but out and just administer the blog.

Hopefully Aluum didn't convict that guy being tried by his jury as "swiftly" as he convicted Anon 3:00 ;-)

Dunlop is a clown. He's good to have around though, because his BS is always entertaining.

Aluuum said...

Sorry! The way your comment follows D.G's comment it looked to me like you were spearing him.
I didn't even know Donald, who ever he is , has a blog.
Besides ,D.G. doesn't need anyone to stick up for him . He can handle that end of the business.

Nah! We let her off. She had big boobs that kept distracting us from listening to the prosecutor.

I'm afraid being chancellor at DU is too small for Condi. She identifies with Stanford, just as the stupid media do when mentioning her CV. It's not that I wouldn't love to have her. And that her presence on campus wouldn't inure to the benefit of the university. Sadly, I believe facts is facts, and it strikes me as extremely unlikely we'd ever land her. Lord, give it a shot. And I'd love to eat crow. But it just doesn't seem realistic.

If you think DU is a snobby boyz club, its nothing compared to Stanford. Condi's got a gorilla glass ceiling in Palo Alto because of her association with Bush and her lack of pedigree in Silicon Valley.

In other words there is no way in H-E-double hockey sticks she'll become President of Stanford.

High profile university presidents can make $1 million these days, so if DU wants her they need to get serious and get into the game.

Let's start the cheer here: CONDI--CONDI--CONDI !!

I have it on pretty good authority she's a fan of Boone. Someone I know showed her Boone poster at a Book signing and she remembered it right off.

The job she says she's interested in is Commissioner of the NFL. Well, the way Goodell's going, that job's not going to be available for a while. We don't even know if she's interested in a university job, do we? Let's take a run at her. She might even succeed in getting the Gary Hart presidential library located on campus. What a feather that would be!

A poster of Condi and Boone arm wrestling would be priceless. And she would certainly be in a position to hook us up with some big cigars. Besides, what's the worst thing that could happen? She might say "no." So put together a package and make a pitch.

Condolezza won't return DG's emails.
