Former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright rips Bush

LAS VEGAS -- A feisty former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright denounced George W. Bush on Thursday, saying the president's divisive and destructive policies had wreaked havoc on the world and diminished the United States.

"I am depressed about the standing we have in the world today," Albright said during a brief stop at an American Legion hall. "This president has ruined our reputation and destroyed our credibility and moral authority. To use a diplomatic term of art, the world is a mess."

Albright has been campaigning for presidential candidate John Kerry with a group that includes former top generals, a U.S. Marine who served recently in Iraq, and Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif., the highest-ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.

Albright had nothing good to say about Bush or the war in Iraq, which she described as a "chaotic disaster."

"It was badly planned," she continued. "It was horrible. There was no plan. The president calls it a 'catastrophic success.' Have ever heard those two words together? It's kind of like imposing democracy, another oxymoron."

Maddie, you're only fit for that job of cleaning lady, which you were once mistaken for.

Go away!

I nominate the following:
Janet Reno and Madeline Alsonotsobright to go on the road together in a more mature version of Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie doing "THE SIMPLE LIFE".

That seems to be the only good use for dear Madeline these days. I wonder how many targets I could sell at the gun store if I put Madeline's photo on them?

I know someone who had the "privilege" of working with her and her staff for a few days when Albright was Secretary of State. My friend said Albright was basically a doddering old woman, "out of it" , and totally dependent upon staff. She couldn't talk to a foreign leader without reading talking points verbatim from memos, and had to be led by the elbow about meeting rooms. "Sit here please" "Sign this please". That sort of thing.

Who? Is she someone important or something?

Why exert so much energy indirectly defending the same scum of the earth Islamofascists who would slit her Jewish throat if ever given the chance?

Going through life both ugly and an idiot must suck, eh? Oh well, at least you have Helen Thomas to commiserate with since you both share those traits.
