Doonesbury Say What?

"I know you never liked me, Mr. Secretary-General. Well, I never liked you, either...I don't really like him [UN official Bob Orr]. He's an American, and I really don't like Americans."
-- top China UN diplomat Sha Zukang during dinner at a UN retreat

BWAHAHAHA! A diplomat who says what he thinks and believes, is that allowed? How long before he's recalled and replaced? Or promoted?

I wonder if he was drunk, and if so, how many sheets to the wind?

If John Bolton is the exemplar, neither should happen unless he gets caught with something he shouldn't be.

I still can't get over Bolton's appointment to the UN, much less his continued "significance" as a political punster.

It was a moment of unvarnished honesty that continued on - and the significance continues because Bolton is saying the things the conservative media wants to promote. Once he's off message, he'll vanish.
