Former Secretary of State Rice backs out of Rutgers commencement

May 3, 2014

According to Kristina Wong, writing for The Hill on May 3, 2014, “Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice declined Rutgers University’s invitation as commencement speaker after some students staged a sit-in protest of her support for the Iraq War.

[…]

However, Rutgers faculty at its New Brunswick campus approved a resolution calling for Rice to be disinvited to the May 18 ceremony, according to the National Review Online, citing the Bush’s administration’s “effort to mislead the American people about the presence of weapons of mass destruction.”

Students protested with signs calling Rice a “war criminal.”

On May 3, 2014, Secretary Rice said on her Facebook page, “Commencement should be a time of joyous celebration for the graduates and their families. Rutgers' invitation to me to speak has become a distraction for the university community at this very special time.

I am honored to have served my country. I have defended America's belief in free speech and the exchange of ideas. These values are essential to the health of our democracy. But that is not what is at issue here. As a Professor for thirty years at Stanford University and as its former Provost and Chief academic officer, I understand and embrace the purpose of the commencement ceremony and I am simply unwilling to detract from it in any way.

Good luck to the graduates and congratulations to the families, friends and loved ones who will gather to honor them.

Condoleezza Rice Schools Katie Couric on Why U.S. Invaded Iraq

By Noel Sheppard | December 12, 2010 | 11:10 http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2010/12/12/condoleezza-rice-schools-katie-couric-iraq-and-wmd

On December 3, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice gave CBS's Katie Couric a much-needed lesson on why America invaded Iraq.

When Couric said to her guest during an "HBO History Makers Series" interview, "Documentaries have been made about how intelligence was incorrectly analyzed and cherry-picked to build an argument for war, and memos from that time do suggest that officials knew there was a small chance of actually finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq," Rice stopped the host dead in her tracks (video follows with transcript and commentary): http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2010/12/12/condoleezza-rice-schools-katie-couric-iraq-and-wmd

Condi's new gig: Golf reporter By Michael Calderone

Condi's new gig: Golf reporter By Michael Calderone

Condoleezza Rice, an avid sports fan, has talked in the past about wanting to become NFL commissioner. So maybe it's not too surprising that following up her stint as secretary of state, Rice would take up sportswriting.

Rice's first offering, a report from the Masters tournament, is now up on The Daily Beast.

Old secretaries of state do not fade away by Mark Silva

The Swamp Tonight Show: 'Heeeeeere's Condi...' by Mark Silva

Posted on The Swamp March 23, 2009

Old secretaries of state don't fade away.

They go on the Tonight show.

Condoleezza Rice … will join Jay Leno on the NBC late-night stage Tuesday night.

Rice, whom NBC bills as "the first woman National Security Advisor and the first African-American woman to be appointed U.S. Secretary of State,'' will be asked to talk about her years in the Bush administration and what she has been doing since then.

If Leno asks about her bowling, she may want to take the Fifth.
