Condoleezza Rice Becomes CBS News Contributor

Former Secretary of State will be included in the network’s inauguration coverage

If you are watching coverage of President Barack Obama’s second inauguration on CBS, you may notice a new face – Condoleezza Rice. The former sectary of state during President George W. Bush’s second term, Rice has joined CBS News as a contributor and will make her big debut in the network’s inauguration coverage on Monday. In a statement, CBS News Chairman Jeff Fager and president David Rhodes said Rice “will use her insight and vast experience to explore issues facing American at home and abroad.” Rice, a Republican, was the first African American woman to serve as secretary of state, right after the very first black, Colin Powell.
