It seems like it was just yesterday that Madeleine Albright was endorsing genocide in Iraq.
Now she’s out bashing Republicans.
Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright told the Huffington Post, “I can’t understand why any woman would want to vote for Mitt Romney.”
The Huffington Post reported:
There’s been no shortage of musing over Mitt Romney’s failure to win over female voters. The gender gap is pronounced, and with the efforts of the president’s political team, growing wider. Romney has been criticized for his failure to speak out in support of equal pay for equal work, he’s been tied to some of his party’s more hardline positions on abortion, and has been caricatured as a relic of a bygone era in which women put career ambitions aside.
But for all the talk of Romney’s trouble among women voters, no Democrat has put it in the terms that former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright did in an interview with The Huffington Post on Monday.
“I’m not sure I’m going to state this exactly right,” she said, sitting amidst a sea of convention-related activity and daytime wine drinkers in the Westin hotel lobby in downtown Charlotte. “But I think there are some who believe they are actually protecting women, you know, and that it is better for women to be taken care of. I think women want to take care of themselves, and I think having a voice in how that is done is very important. And frankly, I don’t understand — I mean, I’m obviously a card-carrying Democrat — but I can’t understand why any woman would want to vote for Mitt Romney, except maybe Mrs. Romney.”
Oh I don’t know… Maybe some women want jobs.
