'No Higher Honor' by Condoleezza Rice.

'A memoir of my years in Washington'

Hardback Amazon.co.uk: No Higher Honor: A Memoir of My Years in Washington (9780307587862): Condoleezza Rice: Books - £10.40

Audio CD Amazon.co.uk: No Higher Honor: A Memoir of My Years in Washington (9780307966971): Condoleezza Rice: Books £lots

Not published until 1st November but already Condi's new book is making news.

Condi in publishing her new memoir is featured on the cover of the US edition of 'Newsweek' this week. (Sadly the version of Newsweek we get in Britain has a cover with a stencil-style graphic of Gaddafi's head instead - a poor choice IMHO. Luckily the inside story "CANDID CONDI" is there).

The Daily Beast: Condi Rice: The Bush ‘Freedom Agenda’ Won

This in turn led to a news story on CBS Evening News the other night (which I saw when it was re-broadcast on British TV).

My YouTube video includes the CBS News story -

My opinion is that Condoleezza Rice is too modest in wondering if Stephen Hadley had been right to suggest that she should resign because he, Hadley, told her he would have resigned.

Least of all has Condoleezza Rice any reason to doubt the value of her continuing service to President Bush, the United States of America, the people of Iraq and of the world, of all religions and of none.

To come to the question of whether Condoleezza Rice should have resigned as National Security Advisor as it seems Stephen Hadley may have suggested.

NO absolutely Condoleezza Rice should not have resigned!

Did Jesus resign?

Do angels resign?

Does God resign?

Condi CAN’T resign from being Condoleezza Rice – it is her job for life!

Condi was right not to quit even though her wisdom was overlooked at the time.

Instead, Steve Hadley should have suggested that the Generals might consider resigning so long as they continued to dismiss Condi’s advice.

Instead Steve should have given Condi full support like a truly loyal number 2 ought to have done.

Steve should not have sought to advance his own career at Condi’s expense. This was a disloyal motive perhaps.

Picture the scene:

You are in a huge empty factory. You are wearing your finest george from asda suit with no underwear. The gozzy eyed presenter from dragons den has chloroformed you and you have come round only to find yourself tied to the chair.

Your spindly weiner is hanging out the front of your suit slacks. In the corner of the room you notice gozzy eyes is naked from the waist down, leisurely stroking his beautiful chopper.

In the distance you hear the "click click click" noise of high heels on concrete and you see deborah meadon striding purposefully towards you, with that severe look on her face like in the opening credits. Her heavy lung-warts are clearly braless beneath her business suit.

She walks straight up to you and you begin to say "why are you doing this.." and she silences you with slap to you face and "I'm the boss here"

she then starts pitching for your wang, saying all the things she will do to it (lick suck tie up your clockweights etc) but then duncan ballatyne comes in, suit on but shirt unbuttoned to the waist and he's stroking his clearly aroused throbber through his trouser pocket. He then also begins pitching for your by now engorged prong in his scottish drawl.

The scene culminates with you up deboras clopper, duncan up her crimper, swingers slapping rhythmically against each other. "I'd like to declare myself out!" duncon cries as he pulls out and deposits his hot scotch porridge over deborahs willing face.

November 1st 2011 and Condoleezza Rice begins a round of media interviews timed with the publication of her new book "No Higher Honor, A Memoir of My Years in Washington".

It is not long before Condi is being asked once again if she will seek political office and the former Secretary of State tells CBS News her thoughts on becoming vice president if asked by a candidate during an interview with Chief White House Correspondent Norah O'Donnell on "The Early Show."

The video concludes as a music video supporting Condoleezza Rice for President.

ALERT ALL BBC VIEWERS! banner_2.jpg13/11/2011

Andrew Marr presents a special Remembrance Sunday programme, with guests including former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, author and daughter of Winston Churchill Lady Mary Soames and tenor Alfie Boe. bbcandrewmarrcondoleezz.jpg

Condoleezza Rice taping an interview with BBC's Andrew Marr from Mobile, Alabama. 11th November 2011. Some links to videos on YouTube of particular interest to viewers of the BBC.

Peter Dow explains the importance of Condoleezza Rice to people who might view the BBC or are anywhere in Britain.

What has Condi done for the people of Britain, of England, of Scotland, of Wales, of Northern Ireland? Sure I can answer that. But don't ask me to accept that we the people here are "of the UK". I am not "of the UK". The UK is "on my back". I am a republican. I oppose kingdoms, even United Kingdoms. I want the UK out of Scotland and out of Britain. So I am not a person "of" the UK. I am a person "against" the UK.

So Condi has done more than anyone for us as a leader.

The only thing Condi has not done for us is to remove that Queen, but if we ask her nicely maybe she will help us with that problem too?

Note although the audio here is as broadcast by the BBC, the video has been edited to include views which show Condi's book "No Higher Honour" beside a TV screen. The book though mentioned by Andrew Marr was not named or shown in the BBC broadcast. This omission by the BBC has been rectified by Peter Dow in this version for upload to YouTube.
