WASHINGTON. With his regime tottering on the brink of collapse, Moammar Gadhafi was offered a lifeline today by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who told the long-time Libyan dictator he could crash at former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s house if he relinquishes power.
“Brooch like a bee means you’re the gal for me!”
“I’d jump at the chance,” Gadhafi told Al Jazeera, the Arab world’s primary source of news and not Al Jarreau, the smooth jazz vocalist. “I’ve had a major diplomat-crush on Madeleine and her stunning array of brooches for a long time. I just need to leave instructions on watering my spider plants.”
Whadda ya think: More sun, less sun–what?
Albright, the first female Secretary of State, served from 1997 until 2001. Her tenure was distinguished by mash notes sent to her through diplomatic pouch by the Libyan strong man, who requested that she respond using code based on the brooches she wore at State Department press conferences.

“Brooch of blue means I love you,” Gadhafi suggested. “Brooch of green means you are my queen.” The message conveyed by a brooch of red cannot be printed here under this site’s Terms of Service.
“Somebody get me some mousse!”
Under the proposed arrangement, Gadhafi could pitch a tent in Albright’s back yard and stay until Labor Day. Gadhafi’s tent-pitching has caused controversy before, most recently in 2009 when he rented land in a ritzy New York suburb from fellow eccentric dictator Donald Trump in order to attend a United Nations General Assembly meeting. “He’s not such a bad guy,” Trump said at the time. “I love what he’s done with his hair.”
