That darn Nickie - she gets her nose in everywhere and doesn't always invite me. I love Madeline Albright.

A good crowd showed up to take part in the conversation.

And just like that 60 minutes later, she is off to an Obama meeting in Cleveland. Thanks for stopping by Lakewood, and thanks to Michelle Tomallo and Micki Tubbs for hosting this event, and a special thanks to Nickie Antonio for the heads up and invite.

Good woman. She and Bill Clinton are very loved in the Balkans...well in Croatia and Bosnia.

She was in the news not too long ago when Radovan Karadžić had his first hearing in front of the Hague. He claimed that Albright gave her a type of plea deal which would keep him from being prosecuted for war crimes if he disappeared from the limelight and politics in the region.

This came out of Karadžić's mouth so everyone shot down the credibility. At least we hope it doesn't have any truth.
