Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is returning to Stanford University to teach political science and write books as a member of the Hoover Institution, according to an interview published in the campus newsletter Stanford Report.

"Stanford is my home,'' said Rice, who served as provost at the university prior to serving two terms in the Bush administration. "It really seemed like the logical choice for me.''

She'll relax in February by playing the piano, some golf and watching Stanford basketball. "I want to have a little time to exhale,'' she said.

...

She said she'd welcome debate over the ideas she promoted while serving in the Bush Administration.

"We did some things very well,'' she said. "There are certainly a lot of things I would've done differently...I'm sure there will be dissertations written on that subject, and many of them I'll oversee at Stanford University.''

7. High Lies (Ode to Condoleezza Rice)

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of truth,
And cast my lies from crimson-lipsticked lips;
Onward I've lied, and weaved a rambling myth
Of grateful crowds ...and claimed a hundred things
You have not swallowed...weaved, demurred and spun
Fading into sullen silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting media along, and flung
My eager crap through endless streams of wind.
Up, up, the false, delirious flaming lies
I've topped the biggest ones with easy grace
When neither Rove, nor even Cheney could.
And while with soiled, uplifted heels I've trod
The pure untrespassed sanctity of truth...
...put out my hand, and poked the eye of God.
