Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you,
Just a lady with the famous smile...

a huge hit for Nat King Cole.

The name Condoleeza seemed to demand to be put to this tune I've always thought. A nice pun---nothing more.

If she runs for the presidency, I only meant that being the first black person in the White House (ironic maybe?) would be better than leasing a condo = "condo leaser" = better 'an bein' a renter for the rest of the Bush lame duck presidency. Just another pun on her name!!

"Candy Rice--another pun on the woman's name---sounded to me like a dish in a Chinese restaurant. Xnd getting oriented was just a pun I came up with a while ago for the process Westerners go through to get used to the orient qnd the differences inherent therein.

The song is unfinished and that's why I offered it as a SONG CHALLENGE. I thought others might continue the little song with more puns they might come up with on her name or on others in the Bush administration and their foibles.

Mary, I'm sorry you didn't see that. I thought it was obvious---and I over-reacted to your acusations because they came as a big shock, coming, as they did, seemingly, out of the blue---. It was never my intention to offend you--or any others.
