I never heard the Madeline Albright is Jewish thing.

I don't know what it tells us about Obama's position on Kosovo and Serbia either. I just know it sure looks like they decided to support the Clinton administration policy angle, maybe because Obama's campaign is short on foreign policy expertise and Clinton is an expert on her husband's policies.

Powers had been very critical of the Clinton administration in her book. Which is why I was so shocked to see her spinning this week's events according to the conventional party wisdom. I just never thought she was that partisan, but I guess I was wrong about that.

Which is yet another problem with our current political status quo. All the academics and their think tanks are in the pocket of either the red team or the blue team. We don't have any indie thinkers and policy wonks working inside the Beltway or on the Commons.
