Today's Hoot!

James Lileks - Regarding the Kerry Plan to Restore America's Place in the World:

At least now we know where John Kerry is meeting these unnamed foreign luminaries: "I mean, you can go to New York City and you can be in a restaurant and you can meet a foreign leader," he said on "Meet the Press."

Happens to us all, you know; one moment you're at Denny's garnishing your hamburger, and the next you have the Guatemalan undersecretary for bauxite slapping you on the back and expressing a fervent desire for your victory. You nod, you smile, you play along. And he goes on and on about Kyoto until you note that while you're all for fighting global warming, your meal is growing cold. If you don't mind? Gracias.

Dang, I wondered who that feller was down to the barbeque shack last Saturday!

In the same interview, Kerry repeated his constant campaign theme: his intention to drop to one knee, Jolson-style, in the United Nations General Assembly and beg for forgiveness. "Within weeks of being inaugurated, I will return to the U.N. and I will literally, formally rejoin the community of nations and turn over a proud new chapter in America's relationship with the world."

Mammy!

It plays to the base. The left is terribly worried about what the popular kids are saying about them in the United Nations.

Bwahaha! The United Nations is more like remedial art class. All of which says something about Truffle Boy. And what it says isn't too nice.
