Condoleezza Rice in new book: Gadhafi depicted me as 'African Flower'
CNN ^ | Oct. 21, 2011 | Staff

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says in her new book that Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, who was killed Thursday, once played her a video montage of herself set to a tune called “African Flower in the White House,” the Daily Beast reports.

“It was weird, but at least it wasn’t raunchy,” Rice says in an exclusive excerpt from her book obtained by the Daily Beast.

Rice' s trip to Libya attracted considerable attention from the media (In a CNN interview afterward, she called it an "extraordinary moment."). Not only was it the first visit by a U.S. secretary of state to the North African nation in more than half a century, but Gadhafi also was known to have a serious crush on Rice.

Earlier this year, rebels ransacking his Bab al-Aziziya compound in Tripoli found an album of photos of the former Bush administration official.

In her book, "No Higher Honor: A Memoir of My Years in Washington," Rice said the meeting was the culmination of years of negotiations, including a condition that the North African nation renounce its weapons of mass destruction program.

Good work, Miss Rice.

Gadhafi secretly wanted to make her in charge of his female bodyguard contingent......nah..I’m just joking. At least old MoMo was attracted to a higher class than that of mange infested herding goats.

Gadaffi’s last words were,”Condi my dear, I miss you already.” The bastard got what he deserved. Now we can only wait and wonder what the “new boss” will be like...
