Former Secretary of State Albright Burns Conan O’Brien on Twitter

Brendan Hoffman/Getty Images for Fortune Magazine(NEW YORK) — Madeleine Albright proved to be a good sport when Conan O’Brien cracked a joke on Twitter that name-checked the former U.S. secretary of state.
On Thursday afternoon, the TBS late-night host quipped, “I picked out my Halloween costume. I’m going as ‘Slutty Madeleine Albright.'”
Albright, 77, rose up to the challenge and tweeted a joke of her own, at O’Brien’s expense: “I’m considering going as hunky Conan O’Brien — but that might be too far fetched.”
O’Brien got a kick out of Albright’s response. He responded, “YES — My first twitter war with a former Secretary of State! You’re next, George P. Shultz!”
Perhaps trying to get the last word in the exchange, Albright wrote back, “Never get into a word war with a diplomat. We talk even more than comedians.”
