Albright Says Stupid Crap
2003-12-17
Couldn't find this on Fox News's site, but NewsMax had it. Mark mentions this in the comments to the Osama Fled to Peshawar post. Somewhat EFL.
It was bad enough on Monday when Washington state Congressman "Baghdad" Jim McDermott suggested that President Bush could have captured Saddam Hussein long ago, but moved only when the news would have had maximum political effect. But now, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright is telling reporters that the Bush administration may already have captured Osama bin Laden and will release the news just before next year's presidential election. On Fox News Channel's "Special Report with Brit Hume," Roll Call reporter Morton Kondracke recounted Albright's comments to him during an encounter before Tuesday night's broadcast, while she was waiting in the green room to appear on another show. He shot back, "You can't seriously believe that."
"Why, certainly I can, Mort! I can believe five impossible things before breakfast!"
Albright replied that she thought a bin Laden October Surprise orchestrated by Bush was "a possibility."
There's more.

#13  Fox talked about it again tonight and now Almostbrit is saying she was joking. Mort and others that heard her still aren't too sure about her joking especially with all the other conspiracy theories being espoused by democrats. Her letter about it was rather rude!

Albright Says Stupid Crap
"Albright" and "stupid crap" are redundant.

#9  Why can't this old bat just go into assisted living and leave us alone?
(When Bubba appointed her, you just knew American foreign policy was doomed, if you didn't before. Even Arafat thought she was the chambermaid.)

#5  I tried calling her Ms. Notbright but that didn't have resonance. How about we call her Ms. Almostbright.

#4  Mike - that's called a standing headline.
Local variants - "Arson Suspected In Lawrence Lynn Brockton Fire"

"Kennedy Involved in DWI Allegation Skiiing / Boating / Airplane Accident"

Etc...

#3  I saw that last night on Special Report. I'm getting the impression Kondracke isn't too happy with the mass hysteria that's infected his party.

#2  Albright's in denial. Her foreign service record is abysmal in conjunction with Blowjob Bill. Thus she speaks to remove responsibility for all the failures during BJB's administration, including Iraq, Bosnia, as well as others.

That, or she's on crack.

#1  The phrase "Albright Says Stupid Crap" is a synonym for "Albright Speaks."
