I was never supposed to be what I became," writes Madeleine Albright in her new memoir, "Madam Secretary" (Miramax Books, $27.95).

Albright frankly relates how she survived a painful divorce, chauvinistic statesmen and political foes to become the highest-ranking woman in American government.

I think that Mr. Hill has Secretary of State confused with UN Amabassador....as if representing the country at the NY version of the Tower of Babel was more important than representing US interests at large.

"Yet I am deeply saddened to have been divorced."

I wonder how deep in her ex-old man felt while married to the stupid old bag?

Does she share any of her favorite recipes for billy goat?
Any insight on just what makes the underside of a bridge a special home?

Secret techniques for frightening children?
Does she reveal the origins of her deep seated animosity toward others trip-trapping over her bridge?

Or is it just a book on cleaning techniques for large conference rooms?

To the military folks who had to endure her and fly her around, Mad Maddie was one of the most demanding, rude, condescending, and insufferable people on the list.

Once, her primary aircraft had a maintenance problem, so the planners sent her the quickest backup...which was a C-21. A C-21 is a Learjet 35---and comfortably holds only 6 passengers. Mad Maddie had a conniption fit, because her entire entourage could not immediately accompany her.

She was egotistical to the max---always thinking she was appointed "Queen." I am not surprised to see this waste of paper title "Madam"---it reminds me of the twit jury foreman of the OJ trial fiasco who titled her little money maker "Madam Foreman."

Ah, "memory lane." The Romainan "cleaning woman" incident, dancing on stage for the little crackpot Kim Jong-il in North Korea, appearing on a video with third world frauds and losers singing "Respect."

That's our Maddie!

Three children from her womb is empirical proof that some guys are just plain desperate.

>was credited by many in Eurpoe as being an excellent Secretary of State<

Duh! That's the whole point. She was more concerned with what "Old Europe" thought than what was in the best interests of the country she was appointed to represent.

The very fact that many in Europe thought so should give one pause.

She almost arranged peace in the Middle East and was credited by many in Eurpoe as being an excellent Secretary of State. We had a lot more respect from other countries then than what we have now.

LOL!"Almost" is her claim to fame. LOL! We are fighting now because of gutless appeasing Europeans and democrats. Madam Halfbright is a terrorist enabler and so are the rest of our eurotrash "friends".

Let me start the countdown...5,4,3,2....

Roasting billygoats and torturing children with Kim Jong Il.
Those were the days.

Nice to hear from one of Dullbite's species, troll.

Isn't your name a bit ironic??
However, I guess that Chinese communists do like us better
seeing that the Clinton administration gave them
unfettered access to our military secrets. Read Bill
Gertz's books,if you dare.
By the way, how can you ALMOST arrange peace?
Please remember that the perceptions of other countries
of the U.S. does not have any bearing on our practice
of realpolitik.
