Former secretary of state says Bush foreign policy team has 'bipolar disorder'

MEDFORD, Mass. (AP) -- Former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright on Sunday accused President Bush's foreign policy team of suffering from "untreated bipolar disorder."

Albright said the Bush administration is projecting contradictory messages on a broad range of global conflicts, including the Middle East and Afghanistan.

Bi-polar disorder? Anything like the dreaded "Solo-dancing" disease often exhibited by the Mad Hatter?

[Creightongrad]

The Clintonistas sink to name calling to cover their own massive failures.

Nice crew.

[AmishDude]

If they'd only sign a treaty, we'd have "Peace in our time."

[lonestar]

Who cares what this "Mad Cow Disease" thinks?

[TAP ONLINE]

mrs Allbrite must be excused. It seems she slipped while cleaning floors at her new job and got her head caught in the mop bucket. She has not been the same since this happened.

[katze]

And where was baglady Albright when the earlier "warnings" (as the Dems have been calling them) were given to Clinton? And, if Ijaz is truthful, sure puts Albright in a tight spot, being at the StateDept helm. Maybe time to get a forklift and drag her fat butt in to answer some questions, such as "what did you know, and when did you know it?".

Not Very Diplomatic - Report: Albright Livid When Mistaken for Maid

[ex-Texan]

Time to arrest her fat Clyner and charge her with violations of the National Security Act .... how about all of those stolen laps tops? DUH !!

Also I wonder about those stolen paintings which her father purloined from Europe right after WW II. Does she still have them? If so, arrest her again.

[Chi-townChief]

Albright strongly admonished Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

Madam Albright sounds a little bipolar herself.

A blast from the past:

Madeleine Albright Mistaken For Cleaning Lady

Registered had a hilarious picture of Madame Albright as a maid (reply #21). Registered, can you post it again?

[Deb]

I love it when the Clintonistas show up to remind everyone what we had under the brilliant leadership of Democrats.

Everytime she waddles into the news with her double-wide, extra-short Chanel suits and dime store brooches, I thank God for GW. No one is less qualified to lecture the grown-ups in this administration than someone from the Keystone Kop Klinton team.

Back to the rubber chicken circuit where you belong you incompetent, old lizard.

The chambermaid is out making speeches and my room still hasn't been made up!

I can't resist posting the whole thing:

Not Very Diplomatic
Report: Albright Livid
When Mistaken for Maid

By Eric Wagner

W A S H I N G T O N, Feb. 4 — When a bunch of Albanians mistook Madeleine Albright for a hotel cleaning lady, the secretary of state spewed a most-undiplomatic, and untranslatable, stream of invective, a newspaper reports.
     A State Department spokesman wouldn’t comment on the New York Daily News report that Albright was mistaken for a maid during last year’s peace negotiations for Kosovo in Rambouillet, France.
     Albright at first wasn’t recognized by the Albanian delegation when she walked into their room, it said.
     “One member of the delegation, who didn’t realize who she was, and probably thinking she was some cleaning lady because it was after midnight, simply said to her, ‘Give us five minutes and please go away,’” recalled Albanian diplomat Dugagjin Gorani in War on Europe, a British TV program.
     Instead, Albright exploded in rage, swearing at the group, according to the reports.
     “Mrs. Albright started using explicit language which the translators never could translate into Albanian,” says Veton Surroi, another member of the delegation.

Since when can a looney like Albright recognize anything. And why doesn't she know that the policy of the previous admistration is not illustreous and it failed. Just what do you call that little lovefest she had with Arafat? Someone should tell here this is most unbecoming behavior for a former sec of state.

""They talk about the importance of the rule of law, but seem allergic to treaties designed to strengthen the rule of law in areas such as ... crimes against humanity, and the environment..."

Mad Mattie is upset that President Bush withdrew the U.S. from the International Criminal Court (ICC). The ICC, however, has no Bill of Rights, no Miranda protections, no Habeas Corpus, no right for the defendent to see his/her accusers, no assurances of a fair trial by a jury of his/her peers, etc. In short, the ICC is Albright's wet dream come true. It's a world court run by Leftists for Leftists to drum up charges against right wingers everywhere, give them a show trial, and lock them away (or worse).

The ICC is completely unAmerican. Why should Americans be judged by Africans, Asians, and European socialists for violating European, not American laws? Why should Americans be forced to give up their Constitutional protections?

Because it would make the Left's power-grab easier, that's why.

And that's why Mad Mattie is upset that President Bush essentially killed the ICC by withdrawing America from it.

Oh, she's also upset that the U.S. killed the Kyoto Treaty on Global Warming, too.

Can someone give that old bag of a woman a box of Kleenix to wipe her tears with? She's liable to ruin her copy of Mein Kampf if she keeps crying about all that President Bush is doing to thwart the international Left...

[MamaLucci]

Yes, I remember that! I've been looking for the pic of the Mad Hatter dancing w/herself. Anyone got it?
This fool has a lot of audacity criticizing another administration after having "served" in the most corrupt
administration this nation has ever seen.

[Cicero]

Was that the "rule of law" when they bombed Belgrade and deliberately hit civilian targets all over Yugoslavia?

[Aedammair]

I remember reading some months into her "tenure" as SoS that the Senators referred to her as Madeline "Halfbright". I thought that was funny. Dried up old bag; she's a walking dehumidifier.

[johniegrad]

A little grace and humor in that situation could have done wonders for her. She could have asked them is they needed clean towels, offered to turn down the bed, or gotten them "pillow chocolates". Then when she came back to meet with them on serious matters, everyone could have gotten a laugh and started out on a good note. But no. Because of her own inability to roll with the punches, she injects all this venom into the situation. Deep down inside she probably believed that she looked like a room maid.
