Just two days ago, Hillary Clinton, coming to the defense of John Kerry on his "lying, crooked" comment, rehashed her famous comment, made on the Today Show, that Bill Clinton had been the target of a "vast right-wing conspiracy," now claiming that Kerry is the target of a similar operation.
Well, Today viewers this morning were treated to prime example of the vast left-wing . . . well, we're not paranoid enough to call it a 'conspiracy.' Let's just describe it as an 'interlocking directorate.'
Here's what happened: yesterday, the liberal Pew Foundation published a study finding, among other things, that people in Germany and France don't agree with our policy in Iraq (surprise!) and think the Bush administration was misleading on the WMD issue (I'm shocked!). Oh, and guess what? Many in the Muslim world don't like us either, and many do like OBL (who would of thunk it?)
Well, guess who just happens to be the Chair of the Pew Foundation's "Global Attitudes Project," which commissioned the study? Why, none other than former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright! And guess who Madame Albright is advising on foreign policy? Well I'll be darned, it's John Kerry!
And finally, guess who turned up on The Today Show this morning to tout the findings of her poll and solemnly declare that the results are "troubling" and suggest that we need a change in direction? Why, none other than the Ms. Mint-on-the-Pillow herself!
Interviewer Matt Lauer tried to give Albright some cover (thank goodness. The last thing anyone could take in the morning would be an uncovered Madeleine Albright). He gave her the chance to answer the question whether her chairing of the Pew committee that ordered the study brings its findings into question. No, she assured us. She "might have her own views, but facts are facts."
They sure are.
"You pull a corner of the blanket back, make a nice neat triangle, then tuck it under. Then you put a mint right in the center of each pillow. Got it?"
