Albright is not McDermott. When Madeline Albright says something to this effect, even in jest, it makes McDermott look vaguely reasonable.
While I think she may have been expressing a rueful joke, I tend to think that a woman who's been the Secretary of State under a Democratic president would be particularly careful about this sort of thing when at the place where that president was most often reviled. Therefore, whether or not she thinks it's probable, I have got to think that there is some part of her that thinks it's possible. That says a lot to me about her opinion of Shrub and how much to inflate her public misgivings about the handling of the Iraqi debacle to arrive at an estimate of her private misgivings.
Still, time will tell.
