Madeleine Albright as Ambassador to France?
Madeleine Albright may be far from retirement.

France’s Nouvel Observateur this week hinted that President Obama may appoint Albright as special ambassador to France, according to Examiner.com. Albright, who has also been advising Obama on foreign affairs, served as secretary of state during the Clinton administration, as well as UN ambassador. She was the first woman secretary of state in U.S. history.

Albright has definitely kept herself busy with and involved in the Obama administration. During the Obama administration’s transition into office, she and former Rep. Jim Leach, R-IA, met with representatives of at least 15 major world powers and key U.S. allies in Washington for a global economic summit.

Prior to her UN job, Albright served as a foreign policy adviser to then-vice-presidential nominee Geraldine Ferraro in 1984 and to presidential candidate Michael Dukakis in 1988. Albright is well liked in France. She is fluent in French, Czech, Russian and even knows a bit of Polish and Serbo-Croatian. She is frequently on the speaking circuit, and currently serves as the Mortara Distinguished Professor of Diplomacy at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service.

This is pretty cool, but that's ok, we'll find something inane and moribund to discuss, it's only DU, we don't do smart any more.
