Ben Sasse (Neb.), had complained about “jack-assery” and “people mugging for short-term camera opportunities.” Both Durbin and Sasse were perceived to be referring to aggressive questioning of Jackson the previous day by Sens.

RIP Madeleine Albright and Her Awful, Awful Career

Image
  TODAY, MADELEINE ALBRIGHT   is remembered by few outside the U.S. elite. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright holds a briefing on Israel in Washington, D.C But Albright, who died Wednesday at the age of 84, was a leading figure in “liberal internationalism,” a foreign policy school associated with President Woodrow Wilson and his dream of “making the world safe for democracy.” She played a central role in America’s foreign policy in the 1990s — first as a United Nations ambassador and then as secretary of state under President Bill Clinton. That period of history, and its consequences for the war on terror, can’t be understood without understanding her actions. In particular, Albright spearheaded Clinton’s disastrous stance toward Iraq. Albright’s approach was both vicious in its own right and helped lay the foundation for the 2003 Iraq War.
