Kofi Gets a One-Two Punch

The beleaguered secretary-general of the UN gets a one-two punch today. The first was from an editorial in the Wall Street Journal--subscribers only, so I won't bother to link to it. The second was from the New Republic. It is online here. (free registration required)

TNR says: "Yes, everyone is innocent until proved guilty. But there is no reason for anyone to continue to pretend that Kofi Annan is an honorable man, fit to be secretary-general of the United Nations."

Time is ripe for a counter-attack from the UN's fat Ministry of Propaganda and from the hacks and shills of its press corps. Come on, Ian Williams! Earn your payola! The fifth-rate UN consultant-correspondent, famed for taking money for the UN while writing about it, has viciously attacked journos like Judith Miller who won't toe the line. Sounds like a job for this far-left mutt.
