'Twice as Good' Described as Scathing indictment of Sect. of State.
(June 25, 2007)

In summary, Marcus Mabry's recently released biography of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice portrays her as a self-hating Black woman who, while of "regal bearing," is both incompetent and so loyal to President Bush that she may secretly harbor a fantasy that Bush is her husband.

Mabry quotes former United Nations weapons inspector David Kay as labeling Rice in her former job as "probably the worst National Security Adviser in modern times"

Mabry, chief correspondent for Newsweek magazine, also cites friends and associates who charge that Rice "was put on a pedestal by her parents as a child" and according to her stepmother "She can't see down from there."

During her Birmingham, Alabama childhood Rice was barred by her minister father from associating with what he labeled "underclass" Blacks and a close friend says she once told a Black classmate at Notre Dame to "stop acting ******ish."

Rice, who was interviewed for the biography, denied making the statement.

As far as loyalty to and harboring fantasies about President Bush, Mabry, who is Black, cites an incident at a Washington, D.C. dinner party in which the never-married Rice began a statement saying, "As I was telling my husb…" But quickly corrected herself and said "As I was telling the president." Rice denied to Mabry that she made such a Freudian slip. The biography is entitled "Twice as Good: Condoleezza Rice and Her Path to Power." It is published by Rodale Books.

Obviously she is self hating that is very clear to see...but i don't think she is incompetent..that is letting her off the hook... She is as competent as they come...sadly she just isn't competent or confident on issues outside of white culture..
