A new book claims
that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice once owned a
home and shared a credit line with another woman. Author
Glenn Kessler, a Washington Post diplomatic
correspondent, spilled the details to Michelangelo
Signorile on his Sirius satellite radio show Friday,
according to the Web site Raw Story.
Kessler
discovered through real estate records that Rice owned the
home with female documentary filmmaker Randy Bean.
Bean is quoted in the book, The Confidante:
Condoleezza Rice and the Creation of the Bush
Legacy, as saying that Rice cosigned a credit
line for her when medical costs drained her finances. Rice
owned the house with Bean and gay Stanford professor
Coit Blacker, who eventually sold his share to them.
According to Raw
Story, Kessler told Signorile that he did not know
whether Rice and Bean's relationship extended
beyond friendship. Kessler noted that older
single women like Rice have been scrutinized with
regard to their sexual orientation. The secretive official's
private life has been talked about since she was
thrust into the international spotlight as national
security adviser to President George W. Bush during
his first term. She then assumed Colin Powell's seat as
secretary of state in 2005. (The Advocate)
