More On Albright - The

More On Albright - The Commissioner of the Northern Alliance, Hugh Hewitt, adds to what I said below about Madeline Albright's contention that Algore would have headed off 9/11:

"Secretary Albright is peddling a book, and so interviews are to be expected. What isn't expected, or routine, is for a former Secretary of State to so stridently attack the sitting President, or to do so with transparent dodges and awe-inspiring rewrites of history. The most eye-opening line is: 'Frankly, if there was a President Gore, we wouldn't be in this particular mess,' but there is much, much more that is dishonorable, and a serious interview might have posed at least one hardball like: 'Do you regret clinking glasses with and bestowing legitimacy upon the murderous tyrant running North Korea even as he duped you and your colleagues?'

For years Secretary Albright was thought to be a serious participant in the foreign policy community. Now she's Carville with cute pins. Dinner to anyone who finds an interview with James Baker or Lawrence Eagleburger from the fall of 1995 or earlier in which either man launched wholesale, partisan attacks on Clinton."

Naturally, read the whole thing.

I think this thing could backfire on the Democrats - in fact, if I have anything to say about it (and I did, below), I certainly will.
