...it's ok to start noticing what a corrupt, ineffectual, generally bullshit organization the UN is.
Look at what has befallen Hussain's number one boyfriend, UN Secretary General Kofi “Salt n' Peppah” Annan. It's really too bad that we couldn't have had this story in the news at the same time John Kerry was talking about “bringing our allies to our side,” because it'd be really fucking fun to watch him try to explain how that's possible, when “our allies” are busy giving Saddam money under the table, trying to circumvent their own sanctions, so Iraq could give cash rewards to Palestinian suicide bombers.
Regardless, now that the “conservative media” has failed to get Kerry elected, they're forced to cover the Oil For Food scandal, and the UN is starting to try to pick its scapegoat. Since Annan is black, he's a great choice. Haha! No, seriously I have to assume that since he was chosen to lead the UN, and the UN is a bunch of douchebags, then he is pretty much the douchiest guy they could line up. It certainly is nice that they're gonna get rid of his stupid ass, but I think it's just a dodge, as they'll choose some other sweet talking fuckbasket and this one will play it a little closer to the vest. If you make your corruption only semi-transparent, instead of completely transparent, that will be enough for the plausibly deniability the “conservative media” needs to ignore the fact that you're just an American-hating genocide referee.
So, have fun falling on the sword, Kofi. You're a sack of crap, but you're a fun sack of crap to have around, and I will miss you.
