So, what is Madeleine upto

Madeleine Albright on why she is writing a book on her numerous brooches:


"I have a lot of different pins ... and it all kind of started as a joke," Albright said. "I do like jewelry, but when Saddam Hussein called me a snake, I happened to have a snake pin. And I was doing an interview, actually with CNN, and your cameras picked up that I had on a snake pin, and I was asked why and I said, 'because Saddam Hussein has just called me a snake.'"
Soon, the whole world watched the brooches that Albright affixed to her lapel as some kind of signal, a sort of international reading of the tea leaves.
"When people asked me what kind of a mood I was in or what I was working on I'd say, 'read my pins.' So, then it kind of got to be a thing in itself, and I now have a lot of them and they mostly have wonderful stories attached to them ..."

Keep it up Madeleine - didn't know that your stony face masked a sense of humor
