The Business and Media Institute has a report on a recent speach by former Secretary of State Madeline Albright (once seen dancing with North Korea’s Kim Jong Il, as he whispered into her ear that he wasn’t developing nukes)…
Quoth Albright:
Albright’s message centered on the need for equality – not just domestically, but also on a global scale.
“If we were all rich, that would be very nice,” Albright said. “If we were all poor, it would be too bad, but we would be the same. What the problem is now is the poor know what the rich have as a result of information technology and the spread, generally, of knowledge. And, it creates a whole new host of problems in terms of disquiet and anger.”
I just don’t know what to say to that. Let’s hear the money line again:
If we were all poor, it would be too bad, but we would be the same.
Wow. And this woman was in charge of Foreign Policy for the US.
Oh, and who is she supporting for President?
“I know Hillary Clinton very well and she is strong and has lot of resolve and I think would be a great commander-in-chief,” Albright said.
Yeah.
Oh, and one more thing, from her bio on Wikipedia:
She and her parents fled …when the Communists assumed power over Czechoslovakia, moving to the United States of America in 1948.
I wonder how her father would feel today, knowing that he risked everything to get his family out of the Communist path, only to have his daughter become the very thing he feared?
