Madeleine Eruption

Madeleine Albright has been dusted off and placed in front of the cameras to wag a finger at the Bush administration about "moving the process forward" between Israel and Palestine.

But Arafat's funeral turned into a mosh pit with machine guns, which doesn't inspire confidence in existing Palestinian leadership. And I expect Hezbollah also has ideas about moving the process forward, especially since they acquired those funny new Iranian robot planes.

Maddy has played the expectations game in the past. I have a hunch she'll be visiting the Sunday morning legacy media shows spinning the same talking points. Something similar is happening to Tony Blair, who has been told by the Labor Left to assume the position prior to the next election.
