NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) – Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has made a key step in her post-Bush administration career: The William Morris Agency announced Wednesday that it has signed her as a client.

<snip>

It was certainly a competitive situation," said Jim Wiatt, chairman and CEO of the William Morris Agency. "She was very thorough about the process and who she would feel most comfortable with and who would be speaking on her behalf."

It's unlikely that Rice will turn up as a talking head on television, however. The deal includes William Morris representation for books, lecture appearances and philanthropic initiatives, as well as business initiatives in media, sports and communications.

WMA co-chief operating officer Wayne Kabak said that the agency was struck not only by Rice's well-rounded resume. In addition to her political career, Rice is an accomplished concert pianist as well as a big-time National Football League fan.

Secretary of State, concert pianist, NFL fan, war criminal... I wonder if war criminal is included on her "well-rounded" resume.

1. can't tell real stories from Onion stories when it comes to Bushco

2. Unfortunately, this is true.

If I were signed with William Morris, I'd be livid that they signed a war criminal. I'd be tempted to move to another of the agencies. I'm kind of stubborn that way.

3. WHat the hell did she ever do?

Besides help to lie us into a war? I can't think of one single positive achievement from her - not one.

4. They'd better get her booked quickly.

Once she's indicted, she won't have much time. She'll be defending herself.

5. I think

"willing,clueless tool" would be a good header for her resume, sums it up pretty nicely I think.

[ensho]

6. whatever will they do with her bloody hands?

7. From all reports

the state department is a mess.

8. If William Morris hires Rice does that make them a war collaborator?

[gratuitous]

9. More of an accessory after the fact

Dr. Rice is in no position to continue committing war crimes and crimes against humanity. But what a coup for the WMA! A fan of the National Football League! What a property!

10. gee, ya think she'll do the same as any other new employee?

Isn't W.M.Agency the one where everybody starts out in the mailroom?

11. I can't believe Stanford is taking her back.

SURELY war crimes is a legitimate reason to revoke her tenure???

In the meantime, I hope alumni withhold donations.

12. Ick. One of my GOOD clients works at Wm Morris. So a small part of my

income at times will be her money twice removed.

ICK.

13. No mention of her past as a Chevron board member
