The professor (aka the cleaning lady) ups Bush's grade

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright has that smug look of vindication on her face. Though her hands-on style of diplomacy was criticized by the 2000 Bush campaign, Albright now sees President Bush trading in his big stick for a Clinton-style diplomat's pinstripes as he manages the Middle East crisis, U.S.-Europe relations, and events in postwar Iraq. "The process of being president teaches you a lot," says the Georgetown University professor. "It's very easy to talk about these jobs, and then when you actually have to do it, and you see what works and what doesn't work, there is much more continuity ultimately than you think." After months of carping that Bush relies on military might too much, Albright is singing his praises. "Nobody comes into the presidency knowing everything, and one of the great parts about great people is that they learn." Is it vindication? "If there ever comes a time where they say that something that we did in eight years was good, that would be nice."

Maddy, we've upped our standards for what we consider a good president. Up yours.

[Maynerd]

She is a complete idiot.

Iraq is vanquished; Sharon with W's blessing has reduced Arafat to a political pigmy. Now, the US and Israel are willing to negotiate from a position of STRENGTH.

No doubt if she had advised Neville Chamberlin she would hava felt vindicated when Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin had their powwow at Yalta. What a maroon.

"If there ever comes a time where they say that something that we did in eight years was good, that would be nice."

If they ever find out that something you guys did was good, they will say so.

So far, no dice.

You know, they still have not found evidence of the mass genocide that Milosevic
was bombed from 30,000 feet for. and the media is still giving Clinton a pass on that
one. But in spite of all the evidence that Saddam had and used WMD's the media
says we gotta have proof show me the weapons. In my opinion this is a "Vast Left
Wing Communist Conspiracy".

Madeleine, all we have to do is think of Kosovo and Somalia to know you are beyond any vindication.

You are soulless, hopeless and beyone help. Enjoy your stay in the 9th Circle of Hell.

[Semper Paratus]

I still con't see Sec. Powell reprising her visit to that Pyongyang day care center.

[freekitty]

I wonder how it feels not to be believed by anyone, Madaline?

MIDI - ALL IN THE FAMILY

She can find dirt anywhere…she will clean your underwear
Madeleine is always there…oh what a maid

Cleanliness has been her goal…she can scrub your toilet bowl
They sure could use someone like her way off in Kosovo

She can wash and wax the floor…put new hinges on the door
Pick up every apple core…oh what a maid

[Paul Atreides]

Up yours.

She's ready...

[Yeti]

"We deliberately set the stick too high ... They need a little bombing and that's what they're going to get."

That Madeline Albright?

[Sonny M]

She is a complete idiot.

Your talking about somone who doesn't understand she is insulted when told that Bill Clinton liked making sure that everyone around him that he hires is less intelligent then him.

She actually think Clinton having less intelligent people then him around is great and makes sense, that fact that she is one of the less intelligent folks is something she didn't quite comprehend.

[cake_crumb]

Great work, as usual!

[CaptainK]

Madeleine Albright; so ugly even Bill Clinton wouldn't hit on her.

"Nobody comes into the presidency knowing everything, and one of the great parts about great people is that they learn."

Mrs. Albright, do you honestly think President Bush is following YOUR or Fat A** Clinton's example of diplomacy? Remember when George W. Bush was Governor of Texas and he was greatly admired and respected by his Democrat Lt. Governor? Ever remember George Bush saying something like, "I'm a uniter, not a divider." ?

Your method of diplomacy was to ignore whatever international situation was cookin' until it was too hot to handle or until your president yelled "Fire!" in order to cover his hanky-panky goings-on here in the U.S. That man left many pans to simmer on the world stovetop when the dial was on HIGH, like "Terrorism a la Bin Laden", "Nuclear Delight" (a North Korean specialty), "Somalia Black Hawk Stew" and others. He considered the "Israeli-Palestinian Hash" DONE and left it on the counter at Camp David, but Arafat made sure it wasn't sealed so it eventually became rotten.

On 9/11/01, all the pots boiled over, dear Mrs. Albright, and it was up to President Bush to clean up the mess. Yes, he has learned during his presidency, but he's not using Billy's or your recipes.

"If there ever comes a time where they say that something that we did in eight years was good, that would be nice."

Don't get your hopes up, Maddy. We still remember two treasonous things that you said:

1. We're (the Clinton administration) not about protecting the sovereignty of the United States, and

2. We couldn't get along without the U.N.

[lepton]

"If there ever comes a time where they say that something that we did in eight years was good, that would be nice."

When were you trying, Maddie?

[Loyal Buckeye]

Maddie doesn't understand how Pres. Bush set the stage for these negotiations by showing strength in the Mideast and letting Sharon spend a couple years cleaning things up a little.

[CyberAnt]

"If there ever comes a time where they say that something that we did in eight years was good, that would be nice"

I hope she's not holding her breath ...!!
