Condi's Close Adviser Is 26-year-old 'Kid'

When Condoleezza Rice steps out on the world stage, she most likely delivers lines written by a 26-year-old redheaded "kid" - her speechwriter Christian Brose.

"The conversation meandered and seemed uninspired," Rice aides said, until Brose "shyly raised his hand and offered a suggestion that, for Rice, crystallized her foreign policy themes," the Washington Post reports.

Brose was recently named Rice's chief speechwriter, and he often accompanies her when she travels overseas so they can work together sharpening the secretary's speeches.

"Chris can write her voice better than anyone," senior adviser Jim Wilkinson told the Post.

"He's become one of her closest advisers on policy and communications."
