Madeleine Albright speaks at Princeton: the video
Last week, I saw Madeleine Albright speak at Princeton, and wrote it up as a TigerHawk/Belmont Club exclusive. Now the video is up (scroll down to "4 pm Friday" and pick your favorite bandwidth). The video is worth watching for three reasons. First, Albright is, for better or for worse, the most well-known and probably the most serious foreign policy expert that the Democratic Party has. It is useful to listen to her, if for no other reason than to hear the "reasonable version" of the mainstream Democratic criticism of United States foreign policy under Bush. Second, at 56:45, you can hear what she says about Kim Jong-Il, which is hilarious. Third, at 47:30, you can hear me -- TigerHawk -- ask her the best question I could muster about the Clinton administration's policy toward Iran. How many chances will you have to hear your favorite blogger grill deferentially question a former Secretary of State?
