'NYT' Sunday Preview: Madeleine Albright Can Leg-Press 400 Pounds
Editor & Publisher ^ | April 20, 2006 | E&P Staff

Posted on 04/20/2006 10:54:26 AM PDT by West Coast Conservative

In an interview in the The New York Times Magazine that will appear this coming Sunday, Madeleine Albright reveals, among other things, that even at 68, she works out three times a week "and I can leg-press up to 400 pounds." This follows a discussion of how she does not expect to re-marry, partly because, as she says, "I'm intimidating, don't you think?"

Another highlight of the Q & A is her commentary on the fact that her father, Josef Korbel, a Czech diplomat who became dean of the school of international relations at the University of Denver, happened to train two future secretaries of state. The other was Condoleezza Rice. "What I like about her," Albright says, "is that she continues to give crredit to the fact that my father had a big influence on her."

When Korbel died in 1977, Rice sent a pot of flowers in the shape of a piano, and Albright's mother referred to her as "your father's favorite student."

Nowadays Albright is not a fan of certain aspects of Rice's work. She declares that the Iraq invasion "may end up being one of the worst disasters in American foreign policy."

The magazine on Sunday also unveils a new serial, by Scott Turow, and a new comic, by Jaime Hernandez.

I'm not surprised... her legs have been holding up her 400-lb ass for years.

Right. I don't suppose being uglier than a mud fence has anything to do with it. If I had a dog that looked like her I'd shave it's a$$ and make it walk backwards.

No Maddie, that would be your decision to not get involved during the 1994 Rwandan Holocaust.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Who's going to volunteer to tell Madeline the REAL reason she shouldn't expect to remarry?

... "and I can leg-press up to 400 pounds."

Leg press being on a quad extension machine, or a squat?
Either way, I don't give a darn because that's BS.

You beat me to it. I can't speak to the intimidation as a reason for not being married. Start with being scared, offended or ill by the site of her and I am starting to get it.

This heifer should be spending the rest of her life in prison (Abu Ghraib?, Gitmo?) for treason!
