Game over: UN elects Iran to its commission on … women’s rights

I think Neda would have wanted it this way, don’t you?
Without fanfare, the United Nations this week elected Iran to its Commission on the Status of Women, handing a four-year seat on the influential human rights body to a theocratic state in which stoning is enshrined in law and lashings are required for women judged “immodest.”
Just days after Iran abandoned a high-profile bid for a seat on the U.N. Human Rights Council, it began a covert campaign to claim a seat on the Commission on the Status of Women, which is “dedicated exclusively to gender equality and advancement of women,” according to its website.
This is the same group whose Human Rights Council includes luminaries like China and Saudi Arabia. See now why Ahmadinejad always includes a passage in his annual speech about expanding the number of permanent members in the Security Council or giving more power to the General Assembly? In the interest of “equality,” there’s no laugh test for exerting influence at the UN. The task for its more cretinous members is simply to extend that principle to the real levers of power. Because Iran’s all about equality, you see.
Are you sure this isn’t from “The Onion”.
Time to get out of the UN!
Just what I was thinking. I was looking for the satire tag.
I suppose they must mean Iran was chosen to the womens no rights commission.
The world becomes more sick and evil daily.
No it’s not, sounds like it though.
The world has gone mad!
You have the right and obligation to remain silent while I beat and or rape you, you have a right to Sharia Judgment if you object, you have a right to be stoned if you seek outside help! Is that clear?
Your human rights have been read to you, and will be enforced by UN troops, if need be.
Any questions woman?
It is apparently true. Check out: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/04/29/elects-iran-commission-womens-rights/
If it had not been for the US footing the largest part of the bill over the past 60 some years, the UN would have folded in the first 10 years. We were so stupid to financially support this commie organization.
It’s only fair. Yesterday they announced that Rep Wasserman-Slutz would oversee the US intelligence-gathering efforts. There’s more wrong with this picture than a Hieronymus Bosch painting.

The UN is criminal.
Are you kidding? I think I’m going to have to Twitter this info to NOW and watch them do NOTHING as usual.
“This is absolutely insane!”
That depends on the definition of the word insanity. Let’s see. Our President has just appointed Andy Stern to the “Deficit Commission”. And most of the rest his appointments makes that look sane.
