Before the husband read me the Condoleeza Rice story featured in last weekend's Sunday Times, I had assumed the woman was married. With two children, a boy and a girl perhaps. Over-achiever that she is.
The article headline read "The Man In Condi's Life?" and immediately I had visions of a philandering Condi. But there is no husband to ire, for Ms. Rice is a 51 year old unmarried woman. What one would unkindly call a spinster in the days of yore. An andartu (anak dara tua) in my part of the world. But let's not forget that she is a woman that has achieved much and I admire her striding out in her FMBs as the US Secretary of State.
The man the article referred to is Canada's Foreign Minister Peter MacKay, 41 years and newly singled. Condoleeza and Peter met in Nova Scotia this week to mark fifth aniversary of 9/11, discuss trade issues and getting a cuppa at local hangout Tim Hortons. Although Rice shrugged off the reports, I see no harm in the dalliance for it could be good for US and Canada relations.
And I'm positive Condi could do with a little bit of lovin'.
