Kofi's starting to sound just like lil Tommy Dasshole.

When will he announce that he's "deeply saddened?"

[ProudVet77]

What's with the "K's"? Kofi, Kojo. They have another one named Kermit?

"Annan on Monday stressed that his son was an independent businessman "and I don't get involved with his activities and he doesn't get involved in mine."

This was reported weeks ago.

I thought THEN that he was just sorry his little boy got caught with his hand in the cookie jar!

[SolutionsOnly]

Oh, I'm sure Kofi got his cut.

He's not all that bad an actor though, wouldn't you say?

[paudio]

Uh-oh... This is like an old practice: sacrifying your own flesh and blood...

[FixitGuy]

When are we gonna learn that the U.N. has no role other than to pass out Band Aids and they need to be GONE from our soil!

[wildcatf4f3]

I'm shocked !! Shocked I tell you!!

[Aussie Dasher]

Better than most of Hollywood.

[nutmeg]

Gee whiz, kids now a days, what can a father do? (shrug)

[Colonel_Flagg]

No. Just Kommunist.

[Mike1973]

Yeah, it is surprising that nepotism and bribery go together.

No one would have ever seen this coming from the UN.

Is he deeply saddened he didn't find a better attorney?

[JehngisKahn]

"Kojo Annan was paid $2,500-a-month "to prevent him from working for any of their competitors in Africa" which she described as a very competitive market."

LOL

[Migraine]

What's with the "K's"? Kofi, Kojo. They have another one named Kermit?

Nope. But they have another named "Pat Buke"

[Texas Songwriter]

"Disappointed and surprised" my eye. He's as crooked as a barrel of fish hooks and as low down as a rattlesnake in a wagon track. He demonstrates it even more by throwing his own flesh and blood to the wolves. He reminds me of Bill Clinton in his disregard for his family and his own self respect. The U.N. sort of reminds me of the NAACP and Jesse Jackson's Rainbow coalition, what with shaking down everyone and every institution in its path.

[Aussie Dasher]

Yeah, they're a totally rotten crew.

[Robert_Paulson2]

bullshit.

he damned well got a cut.

and he KNOWS we KNOW it too.

[Political Junkie Too]

"very disappointed and surprised"

Since we're all aware of the pro's and con's of the terror alert scale, we need to straw-dog a new scale. Let's brainstorm a "scandal scale" based on the degree of disappointedness that the associates of the scandalor (or is it scandaler?) feel, to see if we can learn anything that would be useful for a new terror alert scale.

Perhaps he's upset because his cut wasn't big enough.
