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...

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.
I have seen this idea brought up time after time. Its NOT going to happen.
I'll bring the popcorn.
He'd probably renounce his citizenship and become a "citizen of the world."
His card would say, Rome - London - Harlem.
On second thought, maybe this whole POS article is really sarcasm.
That proves it: Clinton is the antichrist.
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.
But that was their plan. He would be President. Next she would be President, and he would be Secretary General of the UN. Together they would rule the world.
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.
Untied = United
"I did not have sex with the ambassador from that country."
Would be the vehicle of choice... for the Anti-Christ.
Freudian slip?
He has perfect qualifications then.
Perfect for the bent one, he would be out of the country "fact finding" wherever UN troops were stationed.
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.
Don't underestimate the damage that deranged idiot could do from the Secretary General's position. The corrupt cabal that surrounded him in Arkansas and Washington would go global. Imagine the hanky panky that idiot could perpetrate in relation to foreign governments against our interests.
