Boos for Kofi

Posted by: ST on March 8, 2006 at 9:49 pm

UN Sec. General Kofi Annan wasn’t greeted warmly yesterday by UN staffers at a meeting where he presented his ‘management reform’ plan:

UNITED NATIONS – U.N. staffers heckled and booed Secretary-General Annan yesterday in a raucous meeting after he presented a “management reform” plan that includes cutting jobs for New Yorkers employed at Turtle Bay.

In a clear sign that U.N. employees have lost confidence in a leader who rose from their ranks, one staffer told the secretary-general bluntly, “Nobody believes you.”

When asked by a staffer if U.N. jobs will be farmed out to Kinko’s from now on, Mr. Annan showed how out of touch he has become from his underlings and from his fellow New Yorkers. “What is Kinko?” he asked.

Something that rhymes with “pinko.”

;)

Seriously, you know it’s been a bad day for Mr. Annan when he gets treated worse at the UN then the President.

Oh, and about the management reform plan – guess who endorses it?

[...] warmly endorsed by America’s U.N. ambassador, John Bolton, who has long urged profound reform of how the organization is managed [...]

Heh.

    Time to close the doors and wave “Bye-Bye” to the leftists as they go back to their crummy dirt-shack homes.

    The last and maybe first good thing the UN accomplished as I recall, was around the time of the Korean war.

    benning: I agree. This is a Frankensteen or stine, as you like. Stock up on blue hats. They’ll be worth more than the things that hold’em up, in the near future. Just not near enough for the likes of people like us. :-w

    When it comes to the UN, what exactly is leftist to you guys, pray tell? UN is NOT the US and nor its mirror image or something, I hope you realize that.

  4. forest hunter says:

    Raj: What does leftist or centrist or rightest have to do with useless, worthless and expensive? I’m not sure what you’re drivin’ at.

    That’s what I’m talkin about.

    Actually the UN consists of alot of governing bodies that are the worst in the world for human rights abuse…funny how they sit on the human rights committee.

    Then there is those UN that can’t keep from prostituting the people they are suppose ot be helping, prostituting so they can get food from the UN.

    The UN has MAJOR credibility problems.

  7. forest hunter says:

    I will unlock the mystery to your phraseology/sarcasm yet Raj. Bear with me. :-"

  8. benning says:

    Raj: I’m referring to the near-total political culture of the UN and its members. Most are Socialists of one stripe or another. Leftists.

  9. Jim M says:

    The UN has been anti-American since its inception yet the United States is the largest supporter as in money of any country. We should pull our support and tell the UN to find another home how about Iran or maybe one of those countries that have a better track record with human rights than the US does. How about Cuba according to the liberals it’s a great place I am sure Fidel would support the UN.
    :d

    You do not believe that the World is better off with a giant talking machine like the UN? Only a neanderthal would think that. I know your a conservative, but your not also a neanderthal are you? Peace

  11. sanity says:

    Please tell me the good the UN has done lately?

    Prostituting young women and children for sex so they can get food from the UN personnel doesn’t count as a “good” thing.

  12. steve says:

    Setting up sniper schools like Abramoff did or stealing $2.4 million like Cunningham did are wrong as well, but we shouldn’t junk our republic over a couple of scumbags. It is always better to talk then fight. Peace
