Yesterday I quoted <\/a>Madeleine Albright, Secretary of State (1997-2001) in the Clinton Administration: "There's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other." The context was Albright's urging of women to vote for a woman, Hillary Clinton.<\/span><\/p>\n

This just in from James Soriano<\/a>,  "a retired Foreign Service Officer who spent three decades in the State Department, most of them in the Middle East." (from his mini-bio):<\/span><\/p>\n

I remember Madeleine Albright saying that a couple of years ago, and in a bit of rhetorical jiu jitsu I used the phrase as the punch line in an essay<\/a> Crisis Magazine <\/em>posted yesterday.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
I was inspired to write the piece because of what Francis The Leftist said of the Vigano revelations:  "I won't say a word about it."  Francis has many opinions about leftist enthusiasms, but maintains radio silence on issues of great concern to traditionalists.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Francis' silence on critical Church teachings somehow reminds me of the scene in the Inferno<\/em> with Ugolino, who was starved to death in a Pisan tower with his sons. He was a father who said not one word to his children in their pain and anguish. Bergoglio e Ugolino<\/em>.  I tried to twin them.  The editor thought it was a bit of stretch, but the commenters seem to have gotten the point.   <\/span><\/div>\n
