From an AP report:
By contrast, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, noting Bolton's public criticism of the United Nations over the years, said she wondered why someone who disliked the world organization so much wanted to take on a job there.
Um...perhaps, Maddy, because he would like to try to change the things he doesn't like? In fact, perhaps that's why Dubya picked Bolton, because the things Bolton doesn't like about the U.N. are the things Dubya doesn't like, either?
You see a quote like this and you just remind yourself -- especially if, as I have, you've had the experience of seeing yourself quoted inaccurately in news articles written by people who actually were on your side -- that there's no telling what Ms. Albright actually said, and that just because a news story makes her look stupid, that doesn't mean she's actually stupid.
