Madeleine Albright Engages In Humorous Twitter War With Conan O'Brien
Conan O’Brien started a Twitter war with former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright on Thursday, but it was Albright who got the last laugh.
Conan O'Brien, Madeleine Albright Twitter War
O’Brien thought it would be funny to crack a joke about being a “slutty Madeleine Albright” for Halloween, kicking off some Twitter banter between the late night host and diplomat.
I picked out my Halloween costume. I’m going as “Slutty Madeleine Albright.”

Albright turned the comedian’s quip right around on him, suggesting she go as a “hunky Conan O’Brien.”
.@ConanOBrien I'm considering going as hunky Conan O'Brien – but that might be too far fetched.

O’Brien seemed honored to have gotten Albright’s attention and then set his sights on a Twitter war with another former Secretary of State – 93-year-old George P. Schultz. But, Albright had some sound advice for the funny man.
.@Madeleine YES – My first twitter war with a former Secretary of State! You're next, George P. Shultz!

.@ConanOBrien Never get into a word war with a diplomat. We talk even more than comedians.

Finally, O’Brien acknowledged that Albright was the victor of the Twitter war – and Albright didn’t disagree.
Damn – Whenever I go toe to toe with @Madeleine Albright, she always wins.

.@ConanOBrien Ha, you're certainly not the first to make that mistake… But all in good fun! #TeamCoco
