This fawning piece about Condi Rice’s love affair with the piano leading Saturday’s newyorktimes.com is beyond comprehension.  As well, doesn’t anybody get the parallel — between her falling short in her aspiration to become a professional musician and the same exact circumstance regarding her ability to professionally conduct the affairs of state?

I’m appalled.
