Ruud Lubbers Resigns From UNHCR
GENEVA, Switzerland (AP) -- United Nations refugee chief Boob Rubbers Ruud Lubbers told Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Sunday that he was resigning because of a lack of confidence in him over sexual harassment charges.

Lubbers' letter of resignation as U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees was sent to Annan on Sunday, a spokesman said. "The complaint of sexual harassment could not be substantiated," Lubbers wrote.
Oh, really?
"For more than four years I gave all my energy to eating at the finest restaurants in the world UNHCR," he said. "Now in the middle of a series of problems and with ongoing media pressure you apparently view this differently."
Looks more like a pattern to me.
After allegations first surfaced last year that Lubbers had made unwanted sexual advances toward a female employee, Annan said there were insufficient grounds to fire him.
Gotta protect your own.
But on Friday, Annan consulted lawyers, clearly angered at the heat his inept organization is drawing resurgence of sexual harassment allegations following a newspaper report that included graphic details.
In other words, Lubbers is dead to rights.
Lubbers maintained his innocence, and noted that Annan had closed the case last July after obtaining legal advice.
"I wuz framed! I'm the victim here!"
"That bitch set me up!"
Indicating the secretary-general had decided it was time for him to go, Lubbers said, "To be frank, and despite all my loyalty, insult has now been added to injury and therefore I resign as high commissioner."
See ya later, peckerwood. Can't wait for the lawsuits.
