FNC reports Danforth resigns as Ambassador to UN.

[eastforker]

Waiting for more

[K1avg]

Surprised Drudge doesn't have it yet...

[Coop]

Let's hope there's no replacement named.

Better yet, give the post to John Kerry. He was in Vietnam, don't ya know?

[anniegetyourgun]

And can you blame him? Hehehe....actually, I'm wondering if this wasn't staged by the administration.....

[bahblahbah]

We should really piss them off.

Send Barney to sing happy songs all day. They'd get about the same ammount of work done.

[eastforker]

I wish the US would resign from the UN.

[My2Cents]

Give the post to Dennis Miller.

[ml1954]

My nomination: Andrew Dice Clay

[rogue yam]

Bring back Jeane Kirkpatrick!

[eastforker]

Bingo! Wouldn't that be a trip!

[traderrob6]

Hmmm, don't know what to make of this one

[So Cal Rocket]

Give the post to Dennis Miller.

Or his Uncle Zell

[eastforker]

Lots of moves going on right now.

[eastforker]

Thanks KAT.

[dawn53]

Didn't I hear that Danforth was being considered for a Cabinet position, or was I imagining it?

[agincourt1415]

How about the ROCK.

[Faraday]

Agreed, Jeane Kirkpatrick. And give her an uzi.

[devane617]

Let's just leave the post open. No UN rep from the US. Ignore the place...

[aynrandfreak]

Maybe Rudy can do it while he consults for bigwigs.

[ALOHA RONNIE]

.

Yes...!!!!!!


WACO, Texas finally comes back to bite DANFORTH in the Tail.

.

[Arkinsaw]

We have a UN Ambassador?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Give the job to Scott Ritter.

He gets along well with ruthless dictators and other assorted socialist vermin.

[jbwbubba]

At least according to Tony Snow on his radio yesterday, said that the whole cabinet would be gone by middle of next year.

[WestTexasWend]

President Bush should call Koffi and tell him we'll send a new ambassador AFTER we send in a Special Prosecutor.

[OneTimeLurker]

No way this was staged. I wonder why he resigned.

[Southack]

Replacement names that would piss off both Democrats and France (for all different reasons)

1. Bill Clinton
2. Zell Miller
3. Rudy Giuliani
4. Tom Ridge
5. Senator Lieberman
6. Governor Schwartzenegger
7. Governor Bush
8. John Breaux
9. Ashcroft
10.VP Dick Cheney

John Danforth and his family are straightforward, honest, compassionate folks from St. Louis. They have given much to the community. John Danforth was our Senator for many years and his brother was Chancellor of Washington University.

Based on the Danforths' integrity, I would think Senator Danforth could not stomach the corruption that he was wise enough to immediately comprehends he got into the UN. I had hopes that he would be able to deliver a strong message to the UN from the American people, but evidently the "challenge" was even too big for John Danforth.

IMHO, that tells us just how corrupt the United Nations has become, or perhaps always has been.

Perhaps it's time for the USA to just with draw from the United Nations and request they relocate to Paris.

As a redneck, I say, we don't need no stinking UN!

BTW, Thanks Senator Danforth for the effort. Your action speaks louder than what the MSM will make out of your resignation.

[isthisnickcool]

Someone in the office here said they should replace him with someone named Ron Jeremy (spelling?). Then they laughed and ran away after telling me to suggest this here....

[GaryMontana]

I say we send a horse or a donkey to be the US ambassador to the UN (just like Caligula sent such a beast to the Roman Senate).

Then we tell the UN we are leaving within a year -- and since the UN owes us billions of dollars for our military deployment tell them OUR BILL IS PAID IN FULL -- !

[anniegetyourgun]

Okay...not staged....just designed to send a message about what the U.S. thinks about the Kofi corruption.

[ken5050]

FYI..He was on Fox this morning..after Norm Coleman they were pushing him hard to say if he agreed that Kofi should go..he was noncommittal..talked about the UN investigation..kept on tallking several times about hopwhard the Waco investigation was..Steve, and Brian were looking at him strangely..almost like Danforth wasn't all there? If he knew he was resigning. why did he go on the show this morning..? There's MORE here, I believe.. maybe he got read the riot act after his tepid TV pereformance, was told to "resign"

[eastforker]

I think this resignation was a very strong message.

[ptrey]

Would love to see Zell Miller sent to the UN...

[freddiedavis]

you left michael moore off your list

[somerville]

You weren't imagining it. He was(is? )being considered for a Cabinet post.

Fox News

U.N. Ambassador Danforth Resigns

WASHINGTON — U.N. Ambassador John Danforth (search) has handed in his resignation. Danforth, a former Missouri Republican senator, was confirmed to the post by the Senate at the end of June. An Episcopalian priest, he was thrust into the national spotlight after being chosen to officiate at President Reagan's state funeral. Danforth replaced John Negroponte (search), who is U.S. ambassador to Iraq. Danforth had been named as a possible replacement for retiring Secretary of State Colin Powell, but the nomination was given to National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice.

[Southack]

How would Michael Moore piss of both Democrats and Frenchmen?

[TBall]

Danforth did a great job on the Waco investigation, cleared Reno and all her thugs of any wrong doing.

[Jose Roberto]

If Sam Kinison were alive, he would be a great candidate to be UN Ambassador. He would let them have it!

[ken5050]

Zell!!!!.. AWESOME!!!You could sell tickets for that...

[Dont Mention the War]

Someone in the office here said they should replace him with someone named Ron Jeremy (spelling?). Then they laughed and ran away after telling me to suggest this here....

Ron "The Hedgehog" Jeremy is a porn star.

[lodwick]

Ted Nugent

[bahblahbah]

He might do well to investigate the recent UN sex scandals.

[Defiant]

Having worked in Senator Danforth's office for several years, I would not be surprised if he was unhappy that President Bush is too anti-UN, and he didn't want to go along with that program. He was very internationalist in his outlook. He would be horrified by the corruption at the UN, true, but I doubt that he would even consider leaving the UN.

[DTogo]

Michael Savage for UN Ambassador, with a Presidential directive to speak his mind as he sees fit.

[prairiebreeze]

FoxNews' Jim Angle now reporting that Danforth is not being considered for any other positions.

[Bahbah]

"John Danforth and his family are straightforward, honest, compassionate folks from St. Louis.

I see that you are from my part of the world and have a similar sense of the Danforth family.

[not2worry]

They should have been investigating Bill Clinton, not Reno.

Based on what she actually knew of what was going on in Waco she probably had no idea of the facts and was just another innocent, stupid pawn of Bill & Hillary Clinton.

You can't fix stupid.
