But during Rice's hour-long interview with Piers Morgan on 'Piers Morgan Tonight' on Wednesday, an unexpected topic came into play and was for some reason discussed at length -- Rice's marital status.
"You are and remain one of the most eligible women in Washington," Morgan said. "How have you avoided being snared in the marital trap?"
"Well actually I live in California now," Rice answered. "But I always said that I expected to grow up and get married like any nice Southern girl, but the fact is that you don't get married in the abstract. You find someone you'd like to be married to." See Piers continue grilling Condoleezza after the jump.
Morgan continued questionioning Rice, who is the current director of Standford University's Graduate School of Business' Global Center for Business and the Economy, about how what kind of wife she'd be and how he could "woo" her.
"How close have you come [to being married]?" Morgan asked.
"I've come close," Rice said.
"How many times?" Morgan continued.
"I'm not going there," Rice said. "The fact is I've just never found anybody I was going to spend my life with. But I think it's a wonderful thing, marriage. But who knows, maybe someday."
"Do you hold out hope?" Morgan said.
"Sure, why not?" Rice answered.
Jezebel, a website aimed at women, expressed anger toward Morgan's inquiry into Rice's personal life. "We get 'humanizing' questions. We get 'human interest' questions. But then there are insulting questions that we can't imagine [Morgan] would direct at, say, Warren Christopher. Questions like, 'Are you high-maintenance?'"
Morgan debuted 'Piers Morgan Tonight' Monday on CNN, taking over the timeslot previously occupied by 'Larry King Live.' Watch the clip:
