Remember Kofi’s right hand man, Mark Malloch Brown?
Here’s a quote from the lad whereby he claimed the UN’s work is a secret to that vast Red State, conservative middle America:

“But that is not well known or understood, in part because much of the public discourse that reaches the US heartland has been largely abandoned to its loudest detractors such as Rush Limbaugh and Fox News. That is what I mean by ìstealthî diplomacy: the UNís role is in effect a secret in Middle America even as it is highlighted in the Middle East and other parts of the world.”

Maybe Brown would like all of yesterday’s speeches and the rabid reactions of the delegates to be kept secret.

ìI am a supporter of the UN. (That is why I was so outraged by Oil-for-Food.) … But now I wonder if it’s salvageable as do, no doubt, many Americans whose tax dollars provide the primary support for what looks increasingly like a social club for… kleptocrats (Chirac, Kofi and the whole Oil-for-Food crowd.)î

We are in good company, Simon. U.S. companies made up ìfor 52% of the kickbacks paid to the regime in return for sales of cheap oil – more than the rest of the world put together.î (Guardian Unlimited)

Charlie Rangle just chewed Chavez out. Chavez left the US early. Thanks Charlie for protecting the office, and thanks Hugo for helping to reunite our country.

Chavez embarrassing rant at the UN also betrays his desire to replace a dying Castro. His inability to be as loquacious as Castro however is insufficient to deter him and so he goes over the top. It’s similar to when a comedian bombs, they decide to bomb so bad sometimes it gets a laugh. Regrettably, the real explosive issue at the UN these days is not the humorous kind.

I wonder how long it will be before the moonbat sites start wondering if somehow Karl Rove got Ahmadwhatever, Chavez, and Mugabe on his payroll? Maybe he was secretly in Cuba last weekend passing out cash…

And with gas prices dropping just in time for the November elections? One questions the timing…

Come on, this is just the annual geopolitical catwalk of state leaders before the General Assembly.

The only real difference, between this and a fashion show, is that in the case of the fashion show, the models usually look better, but often the dresses, like UN politics, are for people from another world.

Which of the Kossites writes speeches for Chavez? Who at DU writes for Ahmadinejad?

The demonization of George Bush, who after all had the temerity to lead the US in an agressive defense of its homeland, is now warmly applauded by an audience made up primarily of objects of US charity for the last 60 years.

In this way the audience channels the cheering section of nearly one-third of our country.

If it weren’t so tragic, it would be hilarious.

Jonathan Swift and Mark Twain would have had a field day. Mark Steyn might.

In another era we had a different enemy. I remember when Kruschev pounded the table with his shoe at the U.N.

But, you know what? at least that enemy wanted to see Disneyland!

But, today?

Chavez would build his own version of Disneyland just to have the biggest one and fill it with propaganda.

Ahmadinejad sees no value at all in the imagination or the freeing gift of fantasy. To him Disneyland could only be the work of the devil.

Kruschev scared me enough.
