Condi cons crowd in SF

by seniornude
... one queer's opinion of Rice speech ...
Despite protests, Dr. Rice spoke in SF on Friday, May 27.
A few hours later, I listened to her speech on public radio, KQED-FM, including interruptions by protesters.

Like Brit PM Tony Blair, she speaks eloquently. And, also like Blair,
she justifies the actions of inarticulate George Bush.

Personally, I admire Condi's intelligence.
Yet I must blame her for Bush's decisions about Iraq,
since she taught him what little he knows about world affairs.

After her formal talk, she was asked a question about
human rights for "gay citizens".
Her reply sounded very vague, at least to me.

-- SF queer
on Friday night

Here's an SF Chron report
(which doesn't mention the gay angle):
