#1 "Kofi's Record Comes Under Fire"

Ya think? Guess that WSJ subscription finally kicked in, huh?

Fucking WaPo. Go ahead - go down in pretentious flames. Burn you bitches, burn.

#2 What? He's taking it up the kazou? Nothing like as funny as your comment, but I think the author means, we all know its going to end badly, but we have to sit through a couple of more acts before he gets put to the sword.

#3 "...a passion for compromise..."

Does that statement strike anyone else as one of the more oxymoronic statements you've read in quite a while?

I, myself, have an obsession for indifference.

I know I shouldn't nitpick on 'journalist' so much, but it's fun and requires very little energy expenditures.

#5 Ya know what we in the US should do? We should issue the UN an ultimatum that sez, "If Kofi does not resign in 72 hours, we will send John Bolton to be US Ambassador to the UN." That'll get 'em.

Nice puff piece there, Collum. What's next, Whiffleball with Jacques Chirac?

#8 Yep, nothing I like more than a good ballsuck. Too bad I'm not on the receiving end.

...a passion for compromise, a desire to please the most powerful U.N. states and an intense loyalty to an inner circle of bureaucrats

In other words, he's not a leader. Peter Principle².

#9 mojo,

Thanks for the link. LOL.

As a kid, in addition to discovering that electric fences are nearly invisible when you're running full speed through a pasture, I had to learn the hard way what makes a telephone ring.

#10 I think it's next to the Stegmaier quarts
Very regional reference there, Fred. Are you broadcasting from near the home of the "coal crackers" ?

#12 I didn't know Kofi left a paper trail. He must be getting sloppy.

If I'm not mistaken, Fred has used 'jagoff' also. I haven't lived in PA for decades but I still read jagoffs when I see UN.
