Madeleine Albright Congratulated Amy Poehler (and Leslie Knope) on Her Emmy Nomination

Emmy nominations can lead to disappointments and joys, but this is definitely the best thing to come out of the morning. 

Madeleine Albright not only congratulated Amy Poehler via Twitter (h/t The Cut), but she also signed a photo for Poehler's Albright-obsessed character Leslie Knope. 

 The world is just a little better when a truly awesome woman compliments an awesome fictional character. Knope's love of Albright is well documented. In season two, she considers not dating someone who doesn't know who Albright is. 

We can only imagine how happy she is now.
