It's interesting to see the UN betray its supposed purpose, and instead behave like the government of some feudal nation.

The UN is a totalitarian government without a country of its own to ruin--eh, to rule.

Move the UN out of the US...I recommend Southern Sudan as a new location.

the Administration was guilty of allowing "too much unchecked UN-bashing and stereotyping".

What did Malloch Brown think the administration should do- duct-tape Midwesterners' lips together?

[IslandJeff]

Mr. Malloch-Brown obviously had talking points planted by someone: he went after Fox News and mispronounced "Rush Limbaugh".

Rush had a lot of fun with it, anyway. No worries.

The UN neeeds to be made accountable.

I hope the money is withheld.. the UN is past its prime.. it has become a tool of de-evolution for humanity.. UN is indirectly.. and sometimes directly responsible for some of the worst atrocities commited against humanity. If it cannot govern itself then it is not worthy of anything. We should just let it wither away

Sounds like they're really worried the US will finally pull our funding.

Now if we just have the nads to do it...

"that the Administration was guilty of allowing "too much unchecked UN-bashing and stereotyping".

Ha, I guess they expose themselves what their idea of government is. They would DISALLOW FREE SPEECH!

What a jack ass!

Malloch Brown said the United States relies on the United Nations as a diplomatic tool but doesn't defend it against criticism at home, a policy of "stealth diplomacy" that he called unsustainable.

He lamented that the good works of the U.N. are largely lost because "much of the public discourse that reaches the U.S. heartland has been largely abandoned to its loudest detractors such as Rush Limbaugh and Fox News."

We're obviously not thinking properly and our government is to blame. In all fairness, FOX News admits to "hammering" the UN, but in my opinion the UN deserves it.

Message to Mr. Brown, we're the same people who elected Bush and our answer is Bolton.

"I spoke to the secretary-general this morning, I said 'I've known you since 1989 and I'm telling you this is the worst mistake by a senior U.N. official that I have seen in that entire time," Bolton told reporters on Wednesday.

"To have the deputy secretary-general criticize the United States in such a manner can only do grave harm to the United Nations," Bolton said.

Mr. Malloch Brown (if that really is his name) takes home $279,000/year, plus $120,000 year for a house he rents from George Soros. What, exactly, is his bitch ?
