This is a Daily Shock to top all Daily Shocks. Well, the only story this could go to toe with is the story about Bin Laden having a massive crush on Whitney Houston.
According to The Huffington Post via MSNBC and The Guardian, Libyan rebels uncovered many of Gadhafi’s items when they went through his Tripoli compound, one such item a creepy photo album full of pictures of former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice.
According to the article, Gadhafi had gone on record about his love for Rice; he reported told Al-Jazeera, “I support my darling black African woman. I admire and am very proud of the way she leans back and gives orders to the Arab leaders…Leezza, Leezza, Leezza. I love her very much. I admire her and I’m proud of her because she’s a black woman of African origin.”
He is apparently very serious about his love for Rice; when she visited Tripoli in 2008, Gadhafi gave Rice an estimated $212,000 worth of gifts including a diamond ring, a locket with Gadhafi’s picture inside, a lute and accompanying DVD, and, according to the New York Times, “Wonder-Womanesque wristbands” and an autographed copy of his “Green Book” his personal manifesto that explains his “Third Universal Theory for a new democratic society”, among other things.
My brain is shot now. You can click on the above links to read the story in full. To paraphrase “Coffee Talk”, talk amongst yourselves, I’ll give you a topic–how do you think Rice handles having the affections of a dictator?
