Albright accused President Bush's foreign policy team of suffering from "untreated bipolar disorder," saying the Bush administration is projecting contradictory messages on a broad range of global conflicts, including the Middle East and Afghanistan.

BARF ALERT!

In response to scathing criticism by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, the Bush administration said Monday it speaks clearly on U.S. foreign policy — and otherwise declined to take Albright on.

"I don't think I am going to get into a back-and-forth," said State Department spokesman Richard Boucher.

On Sunday, in a commencement speech at Tufts University, Albright criticized President Bush and his foreign policy advisers. She said they "seem allergic" to treaties designed to strengthen the rule of law and shift signals daily on where they stand in the Middle East.

Boucher, who was Albright's spokesman as he now is Secretary of State Colin Powell's, said "I think people give speeches, and we obviously listen to them and pay close attention to what they say."

Declining to characterize what senior Bush administration officials thought of Albright's criticism, Boucher said, "This administration has explained its policies very clearly, and anybody who wants to know those policies can just check with us."

There is something about the klinton administration flying monkeys criticizing ANYONE (after watching them run out onto the WH lawn to tell the press corp that bill klinton DID NOT HAVE SEX with monica) that just seems kinda hysterical. Worse-unseemly. Those creeps have all the statesmanship of their ex boss. They did not know how to honor their jobs when they had um, and they don't know how to be dignified and keep their mouths shut after leaving. Democrats are such pukes.

Dear Muddlin Half-bright.

She reminds me of Samantha's half-wit aunt on the old Bewitched sitcom. - She always got her spells confused and Samantha had to rescue the innocent victims.

"She's a witch."

Looks like we're on the same wavelength ;o)

She's been in NC stumping for Erskine Bowles, who's running for the Dem. against Liddy Dole for senator. Madeleine said that Bowles is "a true feminist"!!!!!!!!!! Just what NC needs (NOT). We're already saddled with John Edwards.

Madeleine said that Bowles is "a true feminist"!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't know Erskine Bowles was a woman. Why not? Janet Reno is a man in drag, HA!

[Carolinamom]

Bowles is hurting if he thinks Madeleine can help him. HAHA. She THINKS that "true feminist" label will help him down here, but I've got news for her and him. IT WON'T WORK. (He's afraid to even let it be known that he worked for the notorious rapist, x42.)

She looks positively orgasmic in that picture. Several friends who had met Clinton said that he was eerily charismatic, like a Jim Jones. Frigtening in this particular attribute. This picture looks like she's absolutely in rapture. Disgusting.

I REALLY don't like her.
