Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

Thankfully 'Idol' Is Over by Bedtime

President Bush isn't the only one who's early to bed, early to rise. Add Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who hits the hay at 9:30 p.m. and rises early to exercise. During a grueling Middle East swing last week aimed at reviving a dormant peace process, Rice explained why she delayed a Jerusalem news conference from late Monday night to Tuesday morning.

"Quite frankly," she says, "I'm better in the morning than I am at 9 o'clock at night. And people who know me know that I go to bed at 9:30." Once back home, Rice planned to watch her fave show, American Idol, which-lucky for her-ends by then.
