   Piffle… this thing’s got very short legs. The quote from Lugar had all the earmarks of “I’m shocked, shocked I tell you… hey, what’s for lunch?”.

   If push ever comes to shove, certain connections between the UN and corruption and tits-on-boars will be drawn and we can’t have that, because then that oh-so-cherished bipartisan support will become solely Republican.

   The Democrats are willing to throw a dirt-clod or two, but their solution to the War on Terrorism depends on the traditional perception of the UN remaining more or less intact. In this way they can hand the whole problem over to the UN/ICC as a social, political, and criminal matter so that the War on Terrorism becomes less like a military war and more like the usual War on this or that social issue.

   True enough. But this was a very principled chicken.

   I don’t remember the author of the quote, but it bears repeating:  “You can’t spell, ‘insanely stupid,’ without, ‘UN.’”

   And there is a certain amount of pot…kettle to this.  Politicians accusing the UN of playing dirty pool?  I guess they can always point out where the UN has just gone too far.

   You can talk about that chicken and its principles, but I’m thinking that chicken knew if didn’t get to the other side, one of the UN diplomats would’ve tried to eat it.

   With a fine French wine, perhaps a Cote d’Rhone.

   I prefer “Because he was glued to Ahmed Yassin when the missiles hit.”
