He is so well known in China that a condom has been named after him,

They say this as if it is a badge of honor, marking him as a man to be respected, and admired.

I could just imagine the advertising campaing for this product in the USA:

"Don't go the the bath hose w/o your Bill Clinton"

"When you think of Anal sex with your buddy, think of Bill Clinton"

[hsalaw]

Its food, disease-prevention and other aid programs are making a significant difference in blighted areas

Oh, PLEASE! What about the oil-for-food scandal? It's our money they're spending (or embezzling) anyway; we'd be better off to handle our own aid programs and get rid of the UN entirely.

[BenLurkin]

Is this satire????

[Uncle Hal]

Very interesting. Another hit piece against Hillary. First it was a NY Times piece questioning the Clinton's marriage. Next was all the fonding and adulation of Al Gore and his new movie. Now this. I suspect a stop Hillary movement is under way. Things are going to heat up very quickly.

[conserv13]

I have seen this idea brought up time after time. Its NOT going to happen.

[JimSEA]

There would be some irony in naming Clinton "head" of an impotent but thoroughly corrupt international organization.

[hsalaw]

He is so well known in China that a condom has been named after him

On second thought, maybe this whole POS article is really sarcasm.

[I-ambush]

That proves it: Clinton is the antichrist.

[Jeff Chandler]

This line stuck out, "Its peacekeepers are a thin blue-helmeted line between tyrants and innocent civilians around the world, and they represent the only force that can stop the bloodshed in hot spots such as Darfur."

The Untied States Militaryis the only force that can protect civilians from tyrants. The U.N. is largely composed of tyrants.

The L.A. Times has become a joke.

[PeaceBeWithYou]

It won't happen. Not even for the toon.

In addition, informal rules often influence the selection process. The best known is that nationals of permanent members of the Security Council - China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom or the United States - cannot be considered for the post, as such would invest an unwise amount of leverage over international decisions in one government, notwithstanding the statutory independence of the office.

Less commonly known, and perhaps more questionable, is the informal requirement that candidates for UNSG must be fluent in English and French, which while the dominant languages of international relations, are only two of the UN's six official languages. link

It's painfully obvious that Hillary will never do anything that would benefit humanity.

Were she so inclined, she would have long ago bought a bottle of scotch and hooked up for a weekend with Ted Kennedy at Chappaquiddick.

[David Allen]

"I did not have sex with the ambassador from that country."

[ncountylee]

The U.N.'s reputation has been tattered by peacekeeper sex scandals

Perfect for the bent one, he would be out of the country "fact finding" wherever UN troops were stationed.

[NRA2BFree]

IMO! This man will figure out how to achieve his dream, and then he will help Hillary win the Presidency. Then, they would go for total disarmament. Those two are power hungry and what could be better than holding the most powerful positions in the world. Well, not that the UN is powerful now, but he will make it. Adding insult to injury would be hearing that draft dodger being called "Secretary General!" Boy would he like that!!

I think the rule says that a person can be appointed by a sitting President, and considering how close the Clintons and the Bushs are, it wouldn't surprise me if Bush appointed Clinton. Since Papa Bush "adopted" Clinton, there seems to be quite a lovefest between the two families.

[adorno]

Clinton reportedly told an aide that his dream job would be secretary-general of the United Nations

Nothing could be worse for the country and the world than to have Clinton involved in any policy making capacity in any organization at all. Eight years as the president of the U.S. should be enough bad experiences.

And yet, for all that, the world would be a much grimmer place if the U.N. didn't exist.

The reality is that with the U.N. in its current state of corruption and inneffectivess, the world would be a lot better without the organization.

Whether the writer of the article wants to believe it or not, the U.S. is better at carrying out the U.N. charter and aiding the world and keeping it in relative peace than the U.N. has been. Without the U.S., its military and its economic power, the world would be a hell lot worse off. The U.N. is basically, inconsequential. He

[BW2221]

Will Clinton have time for the UN with the new babe?

[Jessica24]

"THE BEST THING HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON could do for humanity is not run for president."

Hee. This made me laugh, even though I know that wasn't the author's intention.

Bill would likely be a step up. I don't think he's responsible for nearly as many deaths as Kofi. Maybe. And hey, Kofi doesn't have his own line of condoms, so how effective can he possibly be? God I love the LA Times.

[ConservativeMind]

I like it! Let's put him in charge of an institution we can cut off and has no viable authority to do anything.

[woodb01]

 

Klinton would fit PERFECTLY into the Corrupt United Nations Socialists (the United Nazis).  After all, under his watch, and already corrupt Democratic Party reached totally new depths in undermining and attacking America

  · DNC-China Threat (15)
  · DNC-Corruption (20)
  · DNC-Racism (14)
  · DNC-Treason (12)
  · DNC-Vote Fraud (9)
 

Treason and corruption are absolutely NOTHING NEW to the Democrats. However their media outlets RARELY cover this.

 

[conservative physics]

I got a job appropriate for the x President... working security on the other side of a one way mirror in the womens department at K-mart.
