I, Albright: First-Person Singular 20 Times in Pro-Hillary CNN Interview
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/26/2008 2:26:01 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

What is it with these Hillary surrogates putting themselves in the limelight? Bill has famously turned the focus on himself, in effect giving Hillary's concession speech on a recent losing night and more recently exhorting people to elect "me."

Today it was Madeleine Albright's turn. Speaking with Wolf Blitzer on this afternoon's Situation Room ostensibly for purposes of promoting Hillary Clinton, Madame Secretary managed to use the "I" word 20 times in under four minutes. Throw in one "my" and another "myself" and that's more than a score of self references.

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses...
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

That would be one good thing about Obama beating Hillary, is that Albright won’t be involved in his cabinet if he won POTUS.

The Mistress of Change will bring back Maddie Half-bright. It would be funny if she wasn’t serious about it.

In China they do it for Chili.
Now here comes another verse,
That's worse than the other verse:
Waltz me around again, Willy.

Bring back the halfwits. /s

Secretary of Defense Cohen, Impeached Bill Clinton, insane Albright, and too-long-accepted CODE-level common criminal and thief
and accepted-document-destroyer National Security Adviser Sandy Berger,
holding "court" in the Ronald Reagan Building on April 25, 1999.
Clinton: "We were all making comments
we shouldn't have about how the meeting was getting very boring.
So finally we decided we had to make like the monkey. Cohen
started this 'hear no evil,' and then I was next so I spoke no evil,
then Madeleine saw no evil, so Sandy Berger said, 'I'm evil.
'"

Yup, she’s a jewel, all right. An accomplishment record right up there with Robert McNamara. (Edsel, F-111, loosing Viet-Nam stragety, World Bank...need I go on?) Why, oh why, do we have a state department? Any other organization with such an abysmal record of failure would long ago have been disbanded. Oh well, welfare for the political “science”, sociology, and English majors.
