If you’re going to dash off a Halloween joke at the expense of a former U.S. Secretary of State, better make it Colin Powell—because Madeleine Albright goes for the jugular.
Conan O’Brien just found this out the hard way, and we couldn’t be happier. A professional talk show host really ought to have better material than your average #tcot, no?
.@ConanOBrien I’m considering going as hunky Conan O’Brien – but that might be too far fetched.

As of this writing, O’Brien was reportedly weeping in a bathroom stall, wondering when he’d lost it.
Update 6:20pm ET, Oct. 23: He’s recovered.
.@Madeleine YES – My first twitter war with a former Secretary of State! You’re next, George P. Shultz!
