Conan O'Brien Subtweets Madeleine Albright, Emerges with Third-Degree Burn
Get the man some aloe.

OK, Conan. Let's just think of this as a learning experience: Never subtweet a septuagenarian and think you can get away with it, because she will see it, and she will trounce you at your own game.
To while away the time on a rainy Thursday afternoon, the comedian posted the following comment, unknowingly inciting a conflict the likes of which have never been seen before:
.@ConanOBrien I'm considering going as hunky Conan O'Brien - but that might be too far fetched.October 23, 2014
Ooooooh. A critical hit! (Aside: She knows about the period! We always forget the period! How is she THIS GOOD?)
Conan still seems pretty psyched at this point—it's not every day you have a Twitter beef with the first female Secretary of State, after all—but Madeleine's not letting him off this easily.
.@ConanOBrien Never get into a word war with a diplomat. We talk even more than comedians.October 23, 2014
Can we just declare a KO right now? Because he's not getting up from that one.
.@ConanOBrien Ha, you're certainly not the first to make that mistake... But all in good fun! #TeamCocoOctober 24, 2014
BOOM. And with that, Conan slinks away.
