According to the Associated Press, the Kiss Army fan club has an enthusiastic new recruit: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Rice was in the Swedish capital of Stockholm on Thursday for an international conference on Iraq. Kiss had a sold-out concert to play Friday.

"I was thrilled," Rice said of her late-night encounter with current Kiss members Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Eric Singer, and Tommy Thayer in the executive lounge of the Sheraton Hotel, where they signed autographs and handed out backstage passes and T-shirts to her staff.

"It was really fun to meet Kiss and Gene Simmons," she told reporters, noting that they seemed well informed about current events. The band had asked if she could stop by after she finished dinner with the Swedish foreign minister, and Rice—who says her favorite Kiss tune is "Rock and Roll All Nite"—apparently readily agreed.

Wow..original song choice for your favorite Kiss tune.

I'm partial to Strutter, Deuce, Hotter than Hell (especially the one from the first ALIVE) Love Gun, DRC, I Want You, Cold Gin (or anything from the first album) and hell even most of the "Creatures of the Night" album.

I guess when they asked her what her favorite Kiss song was, apparently, she said "I don't know. Whatever one's on the radio."
