Kofi Annan's Reign of Error

Its finally over, says John Burtis, but what a sordid legacy he leaves behind!

Isn't it a perfect oddity, that even in leaving our sullied shores for a magnificent retirement chalet in Switzerland, Kofi Annan still lays down the redolent odor of fraud, corruption, a penchant for sucking down free American handouts, speaking with a forked tongue, expanding his ceaseless lust for graft to his brother's family, and in displacing our own middle class citizens, who could've enjoyed an unimpeded view of Manhattan at a reduced rate provided by our taxpayers, if Mr. Annan's former apartment was not being occupied by his transient diplomatic relations.

Sadly, Kofi Annan represents all that is patently evil about the all but worthless and morally bankrupt United Nations, which has become nothing more than a rotten borough for the hiring of expensive no-show hacks on a world-wide scale, for those big jobs with fancy retirements without any duties except to line one's pockets and fob off the investigators, well lit and attended bully pulpits to flog America, and gathering places to receive the friendly back slapping and pay-offs from the planet's leading murderers.

One thing we can thank Kofi, he revealed what many Americans thought of the UN to be true: its irrelevance in the post-Cold War Era.
