Political Conversation: Condi’s Slip
A pressing issue of dinner-party etiquette is vexing Washington, according to a story now making the D.C. rounds: How should you react when your guest, in this case national-security adviser Condoleezza Rice, makes a poignant faux pas? At a recent dinner party hosted by New York Times D.C. bureau chief Philip Taubman and his wife, Times reporter Felicity Barringer, and attended by Arthur Sulzberger Jr., Maureen Dowd, Steven Weisman, and Elisabeth Bumiller, Rice was reportedly overheard saying, “As I was telling my husb—” and then stopping herself abruptly, before saying, “As I was telling President Bush.” Jaws dropped, but a guest says the slip by the unmarried politician, who spends weekends with the president and his wife, seemed more psychologically telling than incriminating. Nobody thinks Bush and Rice are actually an item. A National Security Council spokesman laughed and said, “No comment.” [via c0balt]

This Freudian slip adds more crdibility to the reports on Cloak & Dagger radio that not only does Bush share intimate congress with Rice, but has with Kerry as well.

Teresa Heinz-Kerry, daughter and widow of Bonesmen, was probably initaed into the Bones after her first wedding. For more on this wacky love pentangle, see Bones & Ashe. Speaking of, Bush recently appointed his special friend Victor Ashe as ambassador to Poland.
