I think you may be giving Alec an excessively hard time. Condoleeza Rice is a love interest for his character on the show, so I think he means that the writers have a hard time making that recurring joke funny without crossing a line into graphic offensiveness (i.e., having his character make anatomical references to the Secretary of State). Arguably, a line is crossed by alluding to her as a love interest in the first place, but it’s hardly the first time an actual public figure has been invoked in a sitcom.
My bad. I don’t watch the show and didn’t know it was an inside-joke.
