Big Yuks At UN Press Briefing

Posted by: Laer at 12:03 am

The UN press corps was in a goofy mood today.

Here’s one curious exchange:

Question: Secondly, the Security Council this morning looked like a
parody of “Saturday Night Live” with one resolution after another, done by numbers rather than name. Anyway, for them to say that this is now terrorism, this is now Georgia…

Spokesman: We’ll try to get them better comedy writers.

That passes for UN humor. Next, we have the Uzbeks to Romania humor. Uzbeks who fled to Kyrgyzistan to escape the home-town violence were moved to Romania — except a guy who decided he’d rather take his chances and go back home:

Question: Do you know why that particular person you mentioned didn’t want to go to Romania? What’s the reason, what happened?

Spokesman: No, he said he wanted to go back to Uzbekistan.

Question: So Romania is a worse place than Uzbekistan?

Expect a formal complaint from both ambassadors tomorrow.

With Obama winning the presidency by seven percent, we can't blame the media. Their laudatory coverage and refusal to extensively probe into Obama's background and [lack of] experience was at best responsible for five percent of his vote, the pundits tell us. Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
