Randy Rice

Washington's chattering class is collectively scratching it's furrowed brow over a slip of the tongue made by Condoleeza Rice at a recent dinner party:
Rice, according to an account in this week's New York magazine, at one point said: "As I was telling my husb . . . " then stopped and said, "As I was telling President Bush. . . ."

Eyebrows jumped; jaws dropped. There was a slight pause in the chatter. But we're also thinking that while the first phrase was correctly reported, there's a possibility the second one did not immediately follow. In which case, it's not at all clear whom or what Rice, who is single, may have been talking about.

Well, Heraldblog has obtained a transcript of the dinner party converstation (don't ask how), and in the interest of full disclosure, we've decided to post it here for the first time:

Dinner guest No. 1: Don't you think the President was being a little rash, entering a war without international backing and all that?

Rice: As I was telling my husb...As I was telling President Bush, the job of toppling Saddam was too important to be left to our European allies.

Dinner guest No. 2: There's talk around Washington that many in the President's inner circle had serious misgivings about embarking on another war when bin Laden and al Qaeda were still on the loose.

Rice: You know, just this afternoon I was fellat.. I was telling the President that he has the full support of his erec.. entire staff, and that history would respect his orgas...organizing principles.

Dinner guest No. 3: These must be very stressful times on the Bush family. How is the President's wife holding up under all the pressure.

Rice: Just last night, The President and the First lady and I were having three-way se.. discussion about that very subject. The Bushes are very strong people, and they're doing just fine.

As Freud himself would have said, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
