Well the wiki strikes again...here's an interesting tidbit about our esteemed half-witted "Secretary of State":
Rice was born in Birmingham, Alabama, the only child of Angelena Rice and the Reverend John Wesley Rice, Jr. Her father became a minister at Westminster Presbyterian Church and her mother was a music teacher. In an article for the New Yorker, Nicholas Lemann, dean of the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University, writes "Birmingham had one notably rich black family, the Gastons, who were in the insurance business. Occupying the next rung down was Alma Powell's family;her father and her uncle were the principals of two black high schools in town. Rice's father, John Wesley Rice, Jr., worked for Alma Powell's uncle as a high-school guidance counsellor, and was an ordained minister who preached on weekends; Rice's mother, Angelena, was a teacher." (Alma Powell is married to Colin Powell.) In 1967, the family moved to Denver when her father accepted an administrative position at the University of Denver. Her name is a variation on the Italian musical term "con dolcezza" which is a direction to play "with sweetness". (emphasis added).
Gosh, what an interesting coincidence, isn't it? Maybe Condi never wanted to play nice with Colin cause her daddy was Alma's Uncles employee, and payback you know, is beeyotch after all.
So after all these years, who know, maybe "Sweetness" managed to get revenge for some real or imaginary family slight by ensuring Colin Powell looked like an idiot while she just sat back and laughed. Just think, ruining Alma's husband with no one the wiser...as a famous comedian once said (sort of) "How Sweet It Is!".
