Condi Rice Tickled the Queen's Ivories

The Secretary of State’s got talent!

Classically trained pianist, Condoleezza Rice, performed in a piano quintet Monday night for Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace.

The current Madame Secretary was joined by the UK’s Foreign Secretary’s wife on violin and three members of the London Symphony Orchestra.

Condi was in London as part of her ‘final’ Britain trip before President-elect Barack Obama takes office in January.

The Queen gave Condolezzie a recording of her performance as a gift.

What ‘talent’ will newly appointed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton bring to the office?

We’ll settle for keeping us out of more wars!
