Give up? Well, unfortunately it’s not that surprising. They are three of the five members of the panel to decide which complaints shall be heard this Spring by the UN Human Rights Commission! Cliff May says this is UN self-parody, which indeed it would be if there were anything left to parody. (hat tip: SJ)

1. Terrye:I swear to God those people at Turtle Bay are tone deaf, blind and stupid. What do you have to do? Drop a house on them?
And that is an insult to the blind and tone deaf.
Feb 6, 2005 - 8:03 pm 2. Mannning:A perfect illustration of why we should not rely on the UN for much of anything but giggles, or tears. What a horror if we actually submitted our citizens, our organizations and our country to ultimate International Law!
Feb 6, 2005 - 8:31 pm 3. Wallace:Good sound logic here. Who better to rat out the criminal nations than the leading criminals themselves!
Feb 6, 2005 - 8:32 pm 4. richard mcenroe:But don’t you see? This is a dynamic mechanism to get these states more closely engaged in the global concern over human rights…
Nope. Can’t even parody these buffoons anymore…
Feb 6, 2005 - 10:27 pm 5. Lem:Ot ongoing.
My team the Red Sox and the NE Pats Win and yet their political upkeep Kerry lost.
I wish this could be made up but it isn’t.
I’M IN NO CONDITION TO PUT THIS IN POLITICAL TERMS other than what I have I just done!
GO PATS! GO SOX! and they will!
not politicaly that is!
Feb 6, 2005 - 10:42 pm 6. Foobarista:Maybe we can get Burma (er, Myanmar) and North Korea to round out the committee, so it can have a full consensus. Or if we want a “democracy”, maybe Venesuela?
Feb 7, 2005 - 12:21 am 7. PeterUK:It isn’t all bad,at least everybody knows where to send the cheque to.
Feb 7, 2005 - 4:07 am 8. Brian:Of course, we must bear in mind what the UN is really for:
Indeed. The latest mishegas [I'm picking up the lingo!] is just what this paradigm would predict.
Feb 7, 2005 - 5:24 am 9. jedrury:“The United Nations is the pre-eminent trade association for people involved in the business of government power.”
So true.
If it was not for the Rwandan dead, the Iraqis who starved under the UN’s Oil for Food scam,
and all the other UN victims from its absurd policies, one might laugh.
Feb 7, 2005 - 6:44 am 10. ricpic:Let me guess. What country will head the list drawn up by the UN Human Rights Commission in transgressions against human rights? Could it be…..Israel?
Feb 7, 2005 - 6:49 am 11. jerry:Terrye:
The UN is not tone deaf. They are merely playing to their constituency which consists of a combination of socialist EUcrats [or as a friend says "Europenises"] and Third World thugs. We in the ever shrinking Anglosphere are not part of this interest group. It’s time to withdraw from the UN…
US out of the UN; UN out of the US.
Feb 7, 2005 - 7:17 am 12. notthisgirl:The odor eminating from that property is worse than it’s previsous occupant … a slaughter house.
Feb 7, 2005 - 7:59 am 13. OJ:The UN is really a joke. I would not go as far as even calling it a trade association. It is a club. Its members get to voice their opinion and they all agree… Only a few voices of reason exist in the UN and it is the US and our strong allies. If you read UN reports, you would conclude that all is well and everyone are friends. Very weird.
Speaking of Cuba, you really need to begin looking at Venezuela and our relations with it. Looks like the State Department is about to change its policy…

Feb 7, 2005 - 8:35 am 14. charlotte:I think it’s obvious that the UN put Cuba on the HRC because Fidel saves his people from drowning in makeshift rafts by shooting them first. Zimbabwe earned a seat on the commission because Mugabe starves his people to weaken their will to fight and hurt themselves. Saudi Arabia protects their women from skin cancer and driver insurance premiums, and would like to help Israelis meet their Maker. Can’t get much more humanitarian than this, and Kofi’s Club knows it. Makes me proud our tax dollars and Ted’s fortune are being spent on such transnational goodness.
