Take your pick. Is it the AP’s hilariously credulous whitewash of Ahmadinejad’s letter to Bush?
The document gives rare insight into a man who has largely been a mystery to the West, showing him as fixated on a long list of grievances against the United States and seeking to build on a shared faith in God…
On Tuesday, Ahmadinejad called his letter “words and opinions of the Iranian nation” aimed at finding a “way out of problems” facing humanity, according to the official Iranian news agency.
Yet its only proposal is an invitation, over the letter’s last several pages, to join in with those believers who adhere to the teachings of prophets, to monotheism, and human dignity. Ahmadinejad quotes the Quran throughout, reminding Bush that everyone will someday face God for judgment…
In places, he strikes a soft, almost fatherly stance. On its first page, Ahmadinejad strikes a tone of a man who is troubled by a friend’s actions and decides to sit down and give him a little advice.
Or was it Madeleine Albright giving Matthews a sneak preview of World Apology Tour ‘09 by blaming our problems in the Middle East on “a sense of modernism that is basically seen as vulgar and intrusive”?
Wait ’til they’re back in power and we commence Operation: Respect for Medieval Cultures. This jihad thing’s going to clear right up, man. Just like that North Korea nuke situation did.

Madeleine seems to be so concerned that the Muslims think that WE are violent. Guess she missed all the centuries of rape, torture, and beheadings of the ever-peaceful followers of Islam! I feel fairly certain that Ahmadinejad is going to be quite surprised by his day in the judgement seat.

Not only did Ms. Albright miss the centuries of violence by Muslims, she apparently ignores the prime tenet of Islam; i.e., each and every non-believer is a heretic who is eligible to be punished by death. The situation will never change. Is Ms. Albright really just an apologist, or is she truly an anti-American enemy of this nation? That is not a rhetorical question. She is as unstable as Ahmadinejad and perhaps more dangerous to the freedom-loving people in the mid-east, not to mention the people of the U.S. I am growing weary of her pronouncements that freedom and liberty are not for the people of every country. I cannot imagine the degree of sickness that permeates a mind that can make that case with a straight face.

No contest, Ms. Maddy Halfbright gets my vote. She never ceases to amaze me with her lame foriegn policy ideas. Thankfully she’s no longer in a position to risk all of our lives, thanks George.

“…to join in with those believers who adhere to the teachings of prophets, to monotheism…”
What’s wrong with Hindus? Is he trying to get us to go after the Hindus with him? Is he taking a sly dig at the Trinity? Clearly, the AP’s major whitewash is somewhere in there.

Again, the liberal mind is so ignorant, it truly believes that capitulating to tyrants makes them play nice, or, at LEAST leave everyone else alone.
Liberals are traitors to their Country, period. Liberals are too stupid to comprehend that their actions(read: inactions)merely doom the free world to the evil that they also are virtually blind to. They STILL do not comprehend that REAL Islam is just as serious about world domination as the Japanese were at one time in the past. The difference is, the Japanese would have made everyone their slaves, Islam will murder everyone in the name of their false “god” Allah.

One steeped in the extensive lore of Hollywood’s Major Motion Pictures dealing with Government would expect that a woman as ugly as Ms. Albright would display a profound and crystal-hard intelligence. She fails that stereotypical classification. If she were brighter, then she would keep very, very quiet while hoping that her slipshod policy initiatives at the State Department would vanish down the Clintonesque Memory Hole that has served the Clinton Camorra so very well since Mr. GORE reluctantly accepted the verdict of the American People during that turbulent December, 2000. Kim Jong Il played her attempt at being the Secretary Of State like a pat hand. She dutifully accepted the role of the Mark. Now that Korean Master Diplomatist has the BOMB to accessorize his Statesman Costume. Ms. Albright has her shame to console her.

Moonbat Albright. Looking at the world upside down and peeing on herself again! And Chris Mathews is sucking the pee all up with glee as it drips off Madeliene’s pruned face. What a bunch of flagellating morons these two are!
And who cares if the Islamists are just dying to kill us all. They have been doing this since the 2nd century. They are pissed because they have always gotten their butts kicked.
Chris Mathews’ hippie hitchicking stints were pure luck as the Islamists were just relearning the art of taqqiya 30 years ago. The Islamists definitely gave him a pass to help them spread their deception.
Albright’s and the liberals’ blather about Americans being hated in the Muslim world is great indication that we are winning again. Good over evil. The Crusades live on!

‘Ms. Albright has her shame to console her.’
I started to type that Maddy is shameless. But I think it’s more that she just isn’t very bright - like you said. Her former bosses are definitly shameless.
I think Aunt Bea actually believes her own hype. She varied between being ineffective to downright harmful as Secretary of State but she is clueless about that.
bluestarchronicles on May 10, 2006 at 12:48 AM
Honestly, I thought she was dead. She didn’t surface until she had a book to plug which guess what? Bashes President Bush.
I saw her on a morning talk show and it was just like hearing Kerry a month before the 2004 election. She’s frozen in time, and life won’t start for her again until there’s a Clinton in the White House. Or until a handsome prince comes and kisses her, waking her from her slumber. Um…looks pretty bleak for her. Hopefully she will soon return to her ignored and forgotten status.
totally separate comment: Hi Beth!

Didn’t Neville Chamberlain’s bowing to Hitler teach ANYONE anything? You can’t give in to fascism, whether it’s Islamic or Germanic or Japanese or Italian. Given them an inch, they want a mile. Apparently Ms Albright has been standing out in the sun too long.
clyde on May 10, 2006 at 4:38 AM
clyde, notice what happened when we stood up to facism during WWII: some 60 years later, Germany, Japan and Italy are our friends, are at peace with the world. And are all democracies.
This is the legacy our grandchildren deserve 60 years from now:Peace between East and West, Islam and the rest of the world. It only happens if we act now, or Jesus returns and puts an end to all foolishness. It sounds like hyperbole, but if we don’t want our grandaughters to be wearing burkahs and habib, forced to live in Dhimmi, we must act now, and confront Islam. You won’t hear anything like this from Madeleine Albright.
Doug on May 10, 2006 at 8:18 AM
I can’t stand watching or listening to her - the pompous witch makes me want to slit my wrists.
Richard Davis on May 10, 2006 at 8:28 AM
The only thing “vulgar and intrusive” is this ding bat talking to Mr. “doesn’t” Matters! Why didn’t the thunderhead ask the dimwit about her brilliant success in North Korea ? The North Koreans sure loved us when Clinton, Carter, and Maddy “not too” Bright, struck that great Nuclear deal.
What a bunch of maroons!
Bob Mileti on May 10, 2006 at 8:41 AM
What whiney dimwitted moonbats like her fail to grasp is that muslims have never ended the war against the crusaders hence why there is constant reference to the ‘crusade’, the ‘crusaders’, Christianity vs Islam etc.
Moonbats also fail to understand that showing weakness begets more violence. A bully only stops when he feels threatened.
And moonbats further delude themselves thinking that once their cowering and apologising tactics fail, that it is them that are left to sort out the mess they have created.
During the Democrats’ watch in the 1990s during which madam Not-Too-Bright partook, THREE nations (Pakistan, India, North Korea) procured nuclear weapons, Al Qaeda flourished occupying an ENTIRE country, the planning of 9/11, the embassy bombings, the USS Cole etc happened. And who was left to deal with the mess? Right-thinking, non-apologist people who are not afraid to fight and speak the truth and face the reality of the 21st century - that we are facing the final onslaught from the most evil civilisation to occupy this planet - islam.

I much prefer to include her middle name* and to include the missing L in her last name when referring to Clinton’s pseudo-Secretary of State.

That’s Madeline Albright for you: motherly and flirtatious.
Barf.

Is this the “human dignity” that Ahmadinejad speaks of: Report: Iran executes gays following false charges
skwired on May 10, 2006 at 10:24 AM
Hell, I don’t even have to click on either one to know it’s Maddy.
BrunoMitchell on May 10, 2006 at 10:45 AM
I don’t know…but is it me or just my lying eyes….are all liberal women this UGLY and STUPID?…checked out the picture of HRC in an earlier column..the one with the gold medal. GADS. I am beginning to think that the male population should just naturally begin voting conservative.
Sandys Beach on May 10, 2006 at 3:22 PM
Liberal women are generally unkempt, unwashed, hairy, smelly, unpleasant to look at, long-haired, hippy wannabes. Now, on the other hand, look at OUR lovely conservative sexy ladies ..:)~
Great White on May 10, 2006 at 4:51 PM
Was this appearance by Maddy pursuant to her duties as a lobbyist for United Arab Emirates interests (http://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=12839)or did she just want to give it up as a freebe this time?
MarcH on May 11, 2006 at 12:07 AM
Now I read that Albright says that some of the rantings in the letter from that crossed-eyed f***nut from Iran has merit!
Can we all see now why 9/11 happened? I bet even the Demo(n)crats are becoming embarrassed at the antics of messrs Albright and Clinton smooching up to the sheiks.
