So Madeleine Albright now counts as Jewish, when she supposedly didn't know about her Jewish ancestry until adulthood?

Maybe the Bush administration can adapt that line from the movie Ninotchka about "fewer but better Russians."

Ach, weh....Mady Korbel didn't know....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madeleine_Albright
Madeleine Albright was born Marie Jana Korbelová in Prague, Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic), and raised Roman Catholic by her parents, who had converted to Catholicism from Judaism in order to escape persecution. She has a brother, John, who later became an economist. Madeleine was the French version of "Madlenka", a Czech nickname given by her grandmother....In 1939, the Korbel family fled to London after Bohemia and Moravia were annexed by Germany in 1939."

Now why would they flee? They were Catholics, weren't they.

Ach, weh....Please don't believe the fables about Mady.
