On January 11, I commented on Kerry and Dean's conspiracy mongering. Now Madeline Albright is at it-- or, perhaps not mongering, since this seems to be in a setting that indicates she actually believes this kind of stuff. Isn't it scary that this woman was Secretary of State under Clinton? And can anyone now doubt that she would have been willing to put her boss's politics over our national interest? From Mr.Taranto of the Wall Street Journal,
According to journalist Morton Kondracke, Albright was in the green room at Fox News
Channel yesterday when "She said, 'Do you suppose that the Bush administration has Osama
bin Laden hidden away somewhere and will bring him out before the election?' " Although
Albright now says the remark was a "joke," Kondracke says that at the time, "she was not
smiling," and other witnesses back him up: "Two makeup artists who prep the guests
before their appearances also reported that Albright did not ask her question in a
joking manner," Fox reports.
Actually, it's interesting that Mrs. Albright dare show her face in public after being
one of the directors of the disgraced New York Stock Exchange.
