When Qaddafi Met Condi
Look, who among us hasn’t kept a secret file of pictures of Condoleezza Rice? Really, considering the source, isn’t this the most normal thing Qaddafi’s ever done?
“Deeply bizarre and deeply creepy.”
That’s how the State Department is describing a surprising find inside the compound of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi: a photo album with pictures of Condoleezza Rice.
Rebel fighters who ransacked Gadhafi’s Bab al-Aziziya compound have been turning up some bizarre loot, including the Libyan leader’s eccentric fashion accessories and his daughter’s golden mermaid couch. The latest discovery is a photo album filled with page after page of pictures of Rice, the former secretary of state who visited Tripoli in 2008.
tate Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland on Thursday said she hasn’t seen pictures of the album. “I think I don’t need to see the photos, but bizarre and creepy are good adjectives to describe much of Gadhafi’s behavior,” Nuland said. “It doesn’t surprise me. It’s deeply bizarre and deeply creepy, though, if it is as you described.”
Though maybe the discovery isn’t that surprising. Over the years, the Libyan leader’s comments and actions related to the former secretary of state have raised a few eyebrows.
“I support my darling black African woman,” he said. “I admire and am very proud of the way she leans back and gives orders to the Arab leaders. . . . Leezza, Leezza, Leezza. . . . I love her very much. I admire her, and I’m proud of her, because she’s a black woman of African origin.”
Wait, none of the ones with Condi in her knee-high black leather high heel boots? Okay, now he’s a freak.
Lance Burri wonders, “If you’re Quaddafi, are you embarrassed by any of this? In a junior-high secret-love-note kind of way? Or does the ‘golden mermaid couch’ embarrass you more? I wonder what Condi’s thinking right now.”
Mollie Hemingway doesn’t seem that surprised: “Whatever you say about her, it can’t be disputed that the former Secretary of State is a pretty woman. Is that what was going on or am I missing something?”
No, as I recalled when I heard this story, former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon once declared “I have to confess, it was hard for me to concentrate in the conversation with Condoleezza Rice because she has very nice legs.” If Condi can bring Ariel Sharon and Moammar Qaddafi to agreement, she is truly a uniter, not a divider. A real foundation for peace in the Middle East?
