Comparing Condi and Hillary

Posted February 26th, 2005 by AlphaPatriot and filed in Condoleezza Rice, Hillary Clinton

An interesting set of comparisons between Hillary and Rice is over at the Washingtonian Online. I shamelessly stole it and added a couple of items:

Clinton Rice Comment

Birth Date October 26, 1947 November 14, 1954 Both are Scorpios

Hometown Chicago, Illinois Birmingham, Alabama Damn yankee vs. Southern girl

Earned Degrees
  • Wellesley College
  • Yale Law
  • University of Denver: bachelor’s degree in political science, cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa
  • Master’s from Notre Dame
  • PhD from Denver
That’s Doctor Rice

Honorary Degrees More than ten Seven Meaningless trinkets given to curry favor

Party Affiliation Started out as a Goldwater Republican, now a liberal Democrat Democrat until 1982, now a Republican Clinton grew power hungry, Rice grew up

Social Life Parties with the rich and famous:
  • Donald Trump’s Palm Beach wedding
  • Star Jones’s celebrity-studded nuptials
  • Katie Couric’s table at a benefit aboard the Queen Mary 2
Seriously single:
  • Dated former San Francisco 49ers star Gene Washington
  • On her 50th birthday, she partied with Vernon Jordan, Karl Rove, and Karen Hughes
  • She upped her hipness quotient by dining at Galileo with U2 frontman Bono
Fluff vs. Substance

Favorite Designer Oscar de la Renta: wore a yellow de la Renta pantsuit to the Trump wedding Oscar de la Renta: received a red ball gown from the designer for her 50th birthday They’re both women, but one wears pants to a formal wedding.

Music No known ability Has played piano since age three Music training greatly enhances spatial-temporal reasoning required for math, chess, science and engineering.

Working Out Has a small gym in her New York home A former competitive ice skater, she runs on a treadmill every morning One possesses something, the other does something

Dining Out Has been spotted at Restaurant Nora and Cafe Milano Eats at Marcel’s as well as Bush favorite Peking Gourmet Inn in Falls Church; cooks gumbo and other Southern dishes Again, fluff vs. substance

Hairstylist Isabelle Goetz of Cristophe Salon Watergate Salon One has a personal stylist at a solon, the other has a favorite salon. Did we say fluff vs. substance before?

By the Books One writes self-aggrandizing fiction and edits cutsy kids letters. The other is an expert in history and foriegn affairs and writes scholarly works.

    Very cool. Your version is much better than the original, both in form and due to your willingness to add commentary.

    Draft Condi for President? You have got to be kidding! No way, its will get Hillary elected. Figure it out…. “Bubba” will vote for a white woman before he would vote for Condi, and do you really think Condi will garner even one black vote besides herself.. no way.
