| In May, President Bush revealed that he had given up playing golf
| because of the Iraq war. "I think playing golf during a war just
| sends the wrong signal," said Bush. But apparently Secretary of
| State Condoleezza Rice doesn't feel the same way. While at the
| AT&T National golf tournament this weekend, Rice gave an interview
| to the Golf Channel and said she's been "playing and playing a lot"
| since the war began:
|
| QUESTION: Now, I understand you started your Independence Day
| weekend with a round of golf?
|
| RICE: I did. I have my family here and some friends, and so we went
| out and we hit a few yesterday. I don't get out often enough
| because I'm traveling all the time most of the time, but we did.
| We played 18.
|
| QUESTION: Now, how did you get hooked? I know you started playing
| golf about, what, four years ago? What about the game -
|
| RICE: Well, it'll actually be three years this year, three years in
| August that I've been playing and playing a lot. A lot for me.
