2:21Now PlayingFormer First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton garnered laughter and applause during her eulogy for her predecessor at the State Department, Madeleine Albright, held at Washington's National Cathedral Wednesday.
"Now, it's been said that I urged my husband to nominate her as our first female secretary of state. Unlike much that's said, this story is true," Clinton said to laughter."And I was thrilled when he agreed."
Clinton recounted how their friendship began in the 1980s at an event for the Children's Defense Fund.She also said they nicknamed each other '59 and '69, the years that each of them were graduated from Wellesley College in Massachusetts.
Clinton said that Albright was always "in a hurry to do good," and that she carried herself with stylishness, wit and a sense of fun.
"Yes, its true. She did teach the foreign minister of Botswana the "Macarena" at a U.N. Security Council meeting, and snuck off early from an official meeting to do the Tango in Buenos Aires," she said.
"She was even invited to compete on "Dancing with the Stars" after she tore up the dance floor at Chelsea's wedding in the arms, I would add, of a much younger, very handsome man."
However, Clinton's message turned serious at the end of her eulogy.
"She knew better than most, and she warned us in her book on fascism, that yes, it can happen here," she said.
"Once again, we must heed the wisdom of her life and the cause of her public service. Stand up to dictators and demagogues. From the battlefields of Ukraine, to the halls of our own Capitol, defend democracy at home just as vigorously as we do abroad."
