Secretary of State, who keeps private life shrouded, co-owns home with female filmmaker by John Byrne Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice co-owned a home and shared a line of credit with another woman, according to Washington Post diplomatic correspondent Glenn Kessler, who reveals the information in his new book, The Confidante: Condoleezza Rice and the Creation of the Bush Legacy. Kessler discussed the revelations with talk-show host and gay author Michaelangelo Signorile Friday on his Sirius Radio show. According to the book, Rice owns a home together with Randy Bean, a documentary filmmaker who once worked with Bill Moyers. Kessler made the discovery by looking through real estate records. The home is located in Palo Alto, California. Bean explains the joint ownership and line of credit in the book by saying she had medical bills which left her financially drained and Rice helped her by co-purchasing the house along with a third person, Coit Blacker, a Stanford professor. Blacker is openly gay. Blacker later sold his line of credit to Rice and Bean. Kessler mentions rumors about Rice's sexuality and notes that many older single heterosexual women have been "unfairly" targeted with regard to their sexual orientation. He also says Rice has been the focus of "nasty attacks." When asked about the revelations on Signorile's show, Kessler "said he did not know if this meant there was something more to the relationship between the woman beyond a friendship." Perhaps the most popular remaining high-profile figure in the Bush Administration, Rice was put forth as to succeed Bush by many of her backers. She declined, repeatedly, offers to run for president in 2008, and will return to Stanford upon her departure from the White House. Rice faced attacks from liberals in the gay community over the State Department's silence to rebuke Iran for the hanging of gay teenagers. The gay rights lobby Human Rights Campaign called on Rice in 2005 to condemn Iran's human rights abuses after the hanging of two gay teenagers, and to express indignation over "other horrific human rights abuses against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people across the globe." Rice did not. The Secretary has remained silent on whether gays should be allowed to serve in the military and has not commented on the permanent partners immigration act. Andy Humm, a New York gay journalist who discussed the Iran hangings on his TV show Gay USA, says Rice's silence gives "consent." "Condi Rice works for an administration that uses attacks on gay rights to win votes," Humm told Raw Story. "She has stood by silently while the President has proposed writing anti-gay discrimination into the Constitution of the United States. Whenever she is given the opportunity to distance herself from their anti-gay polices she punts." "Silence," he added, "gives consent." Signorile excerpted a brief quote from Kessler's book on his blog. "After she became secretary of state, she came to a party at Blacker's house, kicked off her shoes, and began dancing through the night to rock and and roll," Kessler wrote. "Blacker, who is gay, wanted to show his partner how tight her behind is; he postulated that if he aimed a quarter at her butt, it would bounce off like a rocket. He was right. Rice, who was dancing, didn't realize what he had done until everyone began laughing hysterically. She was flattered -- and proud." The blogger who first posted emails about former Rep. Mark Foley's (R-FL) solicitation of male Congressional pages, Lane Hudson, also questions Rice's silence. "Secretary Rice has typified the juxtaposition that many Republicans have between their public and private lives," Hudson said. "Privately, she is very supportive of gays. However, she heads a State Department that has done little to move foreign governments around the world in the direction of equal rights for their citizens." Steve Clemons, who blogs at The Washington Note -- and who travels in high-level foreign policy circles -- told Raw Story that "Condoleeza Rice may or may not be gay but that she is in a relationship which legitimately raises these kinds of questions. Before he took office, the president and first lady had close relationships with a number of gay men, including Charles Francis, whose brother managed Bush's reelection campaign for Texas governor."

Beans and Rice? They could turn their house into a Mexican restaurant. And since when are women named Randy?
Probably since about the time gay waiters in LA started spelling their names Randi.
However, rather than tortilla chips, the voters who put her into office are "crackers."

What's less known is that she's also close to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice - who likely played a role in her selection. In fact, in the past five years Miers and Rice have often enjoyed a "girls' night out" along with Ann Veneman, the former agriculture secretary who's now the executive director of Unicef. The three got together last month at the Bull and Bear steakhouse at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in Manhattan. They've met at the restaurants Olives and Galileo in Washington, listened to concerts together from the president's box at the Kennedy Center, and even sat down to a home-cooked meal at Veneman's house. Last year, Miers was a guest at a surprise birthday party for Rice at the British Embassy in Washington. Miers and Rice share an "intense devotion" to President Bush, according to the New York Times, which quoted a friend of the two women as saying it was "reasonable to speculate" that Rice played a role in Miers' selection. As to what the women discuss on their "girls' night out," a friend said: "There's a lot of girl talk. It's about life, not business." Miers and Rice, sitting in a tree... That get-together at the Waldorf was during the week of Katrina, when Condi was in New York whooping it up, watching plays, and buying shoes.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

lol! They didn't just live together; shared finances, including a home.

Yeah, that's the usual feminine spelling of the name.
“People ask how we became friends and I always say, ‘God and football,’ ” said Bean, a documentary filmmaker for Stanford. “I could forgive Condi her politics because she loved football, and likewise she could forgive mine.” From the Wonkette piece (quoting the Washington Post from 2005).

God help us.
Apart from being evil, all of these people are really weird. I mean, Bush is the first president in history who was a FREAKING CHEERLEADER in high school. I just picture him in an old roadster on Lover's Lane with the quarterback, trying to decide whether to go all the way.
Habas y arroz con la cerveza, por favor! It’s the Gay Old Party, not for nothing.
Bush's GOP isn't just male homophilic: Condi is apparently now acting as "cover" for Bush on trips that Laura can't stand to make anymore with the closet case drunk. But from what more than just this article over the past few years has implied, Condi wouldn't have any more interest in "doin' the nasty" with Bush than he with her. I've also heard that Harriet Myers and Karen Hughes of Bush's inner circle are "wimmin lovin' wimmin." Heck, even Mrs. Cheney wrote a book with a steamy lezz scene in it, didn't she?

GACK! Is that a lumberjack shirt she's wearing? :P

Well to use a phrase by Mary Matalin about hersel..lipstick lesbians ? :P
seriously. pious perverts.
I don't believe she actually had sex with him - she had to have been artificially inseminated! :P "Those who give and those who receive arbitrary power are alike criminal, and there is no man but is bound to resist it to the best of his power, wherever it shall show its face to the world.

..she has a relationship with a turkey baster? :P
I heard her admit on the tube one night that one of the reasons she married him was for the "unbelievably great sex".
Ms Bean looks like something that might fly into one's bedroom late at night on a broom.
I don't think I want to know what constitutes "unbelievably great sex" for Mary Matalin. Probably being forced to sleep in a doghouse with 12 wolverines or something.
No one gives that as a frickin' public reason for marriage unless they want to divert suspicion.

.. excellent point..
That's a good point. I seem to remember that she was talking to or about Limbaugh at the time; because he had attended their wedding.
I rest my case... :P

They should run ads that say, "Gay, In the closet, unscrupulous, and power- mad? Join the Republican Party!!" :P

.. it has come to that hasnt it? They dont call it the Gay old party for nothing :P
In all honesty, did anyone expect anything else from this administration? Did anyone expect Condaleeza to be straight? More importantly, who gives a shit? Seriously. So what if she likes chicks? Does it change her ability to deal with our enemies? How unsettling would it be for Vladimir Putin to have Bucky making eyes or moves on Pooty-poot's wife? I really do not give a shit who's gay or straight in this administration, what I care about is whether or not they are selling us out, or betraying the American People.
Dying for old bastards, and their old money, isn't my idea of freedom.

Who cares? I'm far more concerned about the way she conducts foreign policy.
God help us. dear God help us. Beyond Stupid.

Rice earned her PhD in international relations at Denver in 1981, and became an assistant professor at Stanford, where the football program was flagging. She went to every home game anyway, and met her best friend in the process — Randy Bean, also a daughter of a minister who raised her to love football.
