We Can't Have THAT...

Ma Albright thinks Bush is using the word "victory" too much. When will these failures from the Clinton Administration learn to keep their mouths shut and stop embarrassing themselves? From Newsmax:

In an interview posted on the Democratic National Committee's web site, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright says she doesn't like the way President Bush "repeatedly" talks about achieving victory in the Iraq war.

"I was very troubled recently, particularly by [Bush's] first speech to the Naval Academy," the former top Clinton diplomat complains in a DNC audio webcast.

She was 'very troubled.' HORRORS! Talking about VICTORY? Why does that word scare the Democrats so much?

"They clearly had some kind of a new pollster in the White House tell them that the word 'victory' had to be repeated endlessly," Albright griped. "Plus, [there was] the backdrop that said 'victory' and then there was 'victory' on the podium. I don't know how many times he used the word 'victory.'"

It's a scandal. A scandal, I tell you!

Still, despite her discomfort over President Bush's victory talk, Albright insisted that she and other Democrats really do want the U.S. to prevail in Iraq.

"There's not a Democrat who doesn't want this to work," Albright said. "I think that Democrats are united in not wanting this to fail."

Uh huh. Well, I'm convinced, aren't you?

Now for the mumbo jumbo makes no sense statement of the week. Speaking of Condi Rice's recent trip to Europe:

The former top Clinton diplomat suggested that Dr. Rice may be in over her head, telling the DNC: "I think that you would have had to have been really asleep at the switch not to know what a very hard trip she had and one presumes that others in the White House read the newspapers and could see she had a very hard trip."

Oh.

JAS adds: Wasn't that the "very hard trip" after which our European "allies" softened their mindless opposition to the seeding and blossoming of Iraqi democracy and pledged greater support and cooperation in the broader GWOT? I guess Aunt Madeleine's problem is that her idea of diplomatic success is playing kissy-face with nuclear gangsters like Kim jong-il much like her bootlicking Euro friends.

I notice Maddy had no criticism of another of Condi's recent "trips." Small wonder that that one is proving to be just the kind of fiasco that was the little troll's specialty.
