Usual Suspects Alert!

Maddy the Weasel-Pleaser

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, busy plugging her new autobiography, went to Paris to give the French a thumbs-up for trying to obstruct President Bush's efforts to depose Saddam Hussein.

"It's difficult for me to be in France and criticize my government," said Albright - who then went on to prove that it really wasn't so hard at all.

Especially not for a bloviating crapsack like Maddy.

"But I'm doing so," she said, "because Bush and the people working for him have a foreign policy that is not good for America, not good for the world."

And she went even further, saying France was "a little bit right" to oppose the Iraq war.

Now, we understand that controversy helps sell books.

But to declare - in the heart of Weasel-land, no less - that George Bush's foreign policy is "not good for the world" not only sows confusion among our allies (not to mention our enemies), it's patently wrong on the merits.

And Albright herself has little standing to criticize anyone's Iraq policy.

No excrement, Sherlock. Follow the link for a chronology of the cleaning woman's screw-ups with Saddam.

And then there's Bubba.

It would be too much to expect Bill Clinton to publicly disavow Albright's nonsense, even though - unlike most Democrats - he has firmly defended the president's decision to finally move against Saddam.

Instead, Clinton - no doubt with an eye toward the 2004 campaign - is claiming that he warned Bush that Saddam Hussein was a less-compelling threat to America than Osama bin Laden.

It's revisionism at its best.

And bovine excrement at the least.

And reason to be thankful that Team Clinton is no longer around to further muck up U.S. foreign policy.

That too.
