THE BEST THING HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON could do for humanity is not run for president. Nothing against her personally, mind you; it's just that her aspirations could get in the way of her husband's worthier ones.
In our continuing quest to find an appropriate job for our favorite ex-president — a year and a half ago we suggested he become chairman of the Democratic Party — we now offer an even better suggestion. This time, it's a post he has coveted. Not long after leaving office in 2001, Clinton reportedly told an aide that his dream job would be secretary-general of the United Nations. That's our dream too.
The United Nations is a chronic underachiever. Envisioned as the most important organization in the world, the U.N. is often reduced to nothing more than an ineffective debating society. Its New York bureaucracy is calcified, with personnel decisions often based more on patronage than merit. The interests of its 191 member-nations are so polarized that consensus on anything of importance is nearly impossible. It is an institution that produces mountains of reports on bettering the world and follows through on only a few of them. The U.N. famously deliberates in the midst of genocides, produces commitments on foreign aid that its members subsequently ignore and allows countries like Cuba to pass judgment on others' respect for human rights.
And yet, for all that, the world would be a much grimmer place if the U.N. didn't exist. 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. Its food, disease-prevention and other aid programs are making a significant difference in blighted areas, and its toothless mechanisms for preventing weapons proliferation...

That's why he belongs at the UN
By the way,when do"The Blue Helmets"START?????????
The truth is that he would probably be the best secretary general ever..as sad as that may seem.
traitor, sex-offender....he would fit right into the most ineffective body in the world. HA!
I was beginning to think it was sarcasm. Then I kept reading.
What did the LAT do? Invite Kinsley back?
Well, one way he could be worse than Kofi Annan is that he could combine his power as "former President Clinton" and, I might add, anti-American activist, with the already anti-American activities of the current UN. That would not be good.
Only if part of a 4 step program:
1. UN charter amended to allow it.
2. BJ elected head pervert by the dictator's club.
3. US abandons its UN membership.
4. UN is kicked out of US.
Bubba knows just how much money he could skim if he wore Kofi's shoes.
These guys must have a source for some really good weed.
He is a creep, traitor and sex offender, he would fit right in with the rest of the un peace-keepers. The un troops do not have the highest of morals and have been written up about this fact. Just give him a blue beret and a jeep. He'd really repopulate some of the more devested areas in the third world.
I think this article is a spoof. It just doesn't ring true.
Hey, have a little faith ... this is BILL CLINTON we're talking about!
Well .. her being a SOCIALIST President and him being a SOCIALIST Secretary-General would mean they could raid and destroy America.
Has that been their plan all along ..??
It wouldn't surprise me!
I would only accept Clinton as Secretary General if the US pulled out of the UN.
I would have thought that making small rocks out of large ones would be appropriate, but then again I'm not on the editorial board of Pravda.
my thinking too. UN is a debating club and if countries have strong leaders they can resist the damage from there to some extent.
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"
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.
Bill Clinton is smarter and slicker than Kofi Annan, and he has a world-wide fan base, especially in the US, that will support him no matter what he does.
He would be ten times worse, because he would be able to get away with a lot more.
He is virtually on record as supporting the idea of a one world government, and he will do everything in his power to make that a reality.
He won't succeed, will he will really advance the agenda to a more dangerous level. He'll be the Lucky Luciano of the UN, the one to turn it into an organized, higher earning mob.
