Rice Tells Friends She's Leaving At Year End

[Bombtrack]

"President Bush’s plan to make national-security adviser Condoleezza Rice the first female African-American Secretary of State is dead," the Washingtonian reports.

"Republican congressional sources say Rice’s resistance to testifying in public before the September 11 commission—even then doing it so effectively—has made the onetime wonder girl too controversial politically to ever get past a Senate confirmation hearing."

"A former Stanford provost, Rice has been telling pals that she’s returning to California even if Bush is reelected."
