Forbidden Love: Muammar Hearts Condi? Libyan Rebels Find Condoleeza Rice Photo Album in Qaddafi Bunker


Cute couple!

David Taintor reports in TPM:
The first images to come from the Libyan rebels' ransacking of deposed leader Muammar Qaddafi's compound in Tripoli were fun but fairly benign: fighters brandishing their spoils including his cherished cap, gold chain and a golf cart.

But also discovered in the compound is a photo album of former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. As MSNBC reports, Rice visited Tripoli in 2008. She and Qaddafi ate dinner during a brief time where Qaddafi was being welcomed back into the international community.
And in a 2007 interview with al-Jazeera, according to MSNBC, Qaddafi said of Rice: "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."
