In one of the most bizarre editorials seen recently from a major newspaper, the Los Angeles Times' editorial board requests that Hillary Clinton declare an end to her presidential aspirations -- so that Bill Clinton can take over the United Nations when Kofi Annan leaves. Telling readers that the world needs Bill more than the US needs Hillary, the editors urge the UN to consider Bill the man to lead a rapprochement with Washington and the West:
The U.N.'s reputation has been tattered by peacekeeper sex scandals, the Iraq oil-for-food fiasco and other leadership failures. Nearly everybody agrees that reforms are desperately needed, but no one has emerged who can unite the competing factions and bring about real change.

Little thing about permanent members of the security council are not allowed to provide the Secretary General.
A Special Birthday This Week Can you believe it?
Monica Lewinsky turned 31 this week. It seems like only yesterday she was crawling around the White House on her hands and knees.
They grow up so fast.
He can't
I once read a post that said Willard could not get this job because he had been the President of the United States. Anyone know if that information is correct?
Hey!!! Bubba has lots of experience in these kinda things!
Pardon the pun, but this is pretty Hillaryous.
And Monica is still a fattie. Ooops! Am I allowed to say that?
The ZIPPER-MAN and the one who let ENRON and the OIL for Food Scam go blindly on is the choice to fix the UN. < / sarc The UN needs to be fixed in the same manner as pets get fixed.
There is no if's or but's, but when!...Bubba will someday be occupying Coffee Can's UN chair,...MARK IT! It's a done deal, bubba and hitlery have sold thier souls to satan for those top positions!
isn't it amazing how the left in this country values the secretary generalship of the biggest extortion agency in history above being POTUS?
"They grow up so fast"
Heh, heh! ;^)
Absolutely. I do think that letting Hillary have a chance at stopping Iran would be a good idea.
Oh my Lord in Heaven;
I pray that this may not come to pass.
But your will, not mine, be done.
In the name of the Savior,
Amen
What am I missing, what is to stop Bill from heading the UN with Hillary in the White House? It would be absolutely devasting but couldn't it happen?
Hmmm? Bill will get the job done!
Not true. There are no restrictions on who can be Secretary General. There is a tradition that the Secretary come from smaller countries, but there is no prohibition aganst anything.
a General Assembly
a Security Council
an Economic and Social Council
a Trusteeship Council
an International Court of Justice
and a Secretariat.
The Secretariat is an organ that has no restrictions on it.
