Albright was a guest on the Daily Show to promote her new book, "Memo to the President Elect". She sees the next president's task as the most difficult everbecause she has: "never seen world in such a mess". The main issue for hte next president will be how to end the Iraq war because it was the "greatest disaster in American foreign policy". She thinks that you can't leave troops there permanently and the next president needs to get them all out.
Albright endorsed Clinton becuase she has the experience to deal with these difficult foreign policy issues and ending the war. She said: "I'm a flat-out a democrat" and "I would be ok with Obama but I want Hillary". Her main justification for supporting Clinton is because she believes that Hillary will be able to get things done in Washington becuase of her experience regarding the relationship between the executive and legislative branches.
"Bouncing effect of diplomacy"- someone gives a speech in the U.S. and it is interpreted all different ways around the world by the news coverage and the different audiences. Diplomats an dpoliticians have to keep in mind that they are not just delivering a message to one country/audience.
"I know people get their news from you." - Albright about the Daily Show
This relates to what we discussed in class- news show vs. comedy show?
