That has nothing to do with politics. So it is funny if you substitute Albright? Or do you find her attractive? And the joke is that a 70 year old woman is not attractive to you? Odd, really, that you are making an issue of the looks of someone that age.

I agree it has some humor if for "Pelosi" you substitute "ugly old woman --- if that is the point (that Pelosi is old and ugly)", but perhaps not funny enough to repeat. |
