| Bush Sends Regrets on U.N. Celebration |
| 2005-06-16 |
| Damn! I got a dentist appointment that day! Damn! SAN FRANCISCO, June 15 - Organizers of a celebration here to mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations had expressed concern for weeks that the Bush administration would shun the event as a snub to the world body. Damn! The dog ate my plane tickets! Damn! On Wednesday, organizers learned that big-name invitees - among them, President Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice - would not attend. Yeah, sorry about that. We're...ummmmmmmmmmmmm...washing our hair. Give our 15 course meals to some homeless guys... In their place, said Nancy L. Peterson, president of the United Nations Association of San Francisco, the administration indicated that it would send Ambassador Sichan Siv, the United States representative to the United Nations Economic and Social Council. Guess the White House Dog Shit Picker Upper Guy had another commitment or else he'd be going. "I am just reading into this that the administration is taking a very dubious stance symbolically toward the importance of the United Nations to the American people," she said. That's very perceptive of you, Nancy. A State Department spokesman confirmed that Mr. Siv would attend the event, which will be held on June 25 and 26, citing scheduling conflicts for Ms. Rice and for Robert B. Zoellick, the deputy secretary of state. "Secretary Rice and Deputy Secretary Zoellick have numerous commitments and invitations," the spokesman, Noel Clay, said. "At times, they will conflict, but it is not a slight whatsoever." Noooooooooooo! Certainly not! We love you thieving, anti-American bastards over there at Turtle Bay! |

| #5 How the LLL and MSM must be twisting off at this news. Bush should give Bolton a recess appointment and then send him there with instructions to look mean. |
