#1 "What will hurt him is the impression that he has not been completely honest, the impression of a cover-up."

What do they mean "will" hurt him? Goo-fi is already hurt, and his own stupidity is the cause. And throwing his son to the sharks won't help.

#2 Well, if one loses a son, one can always get another.

#4 SG - Cosby said something along the lines of:

"I brought you into this world and I can take you out and I can make another just like you."

Pretty harsh, lol!

Both of the Annons be toast.

#5 I wonder what Mrs. Kofi Annan thinks of her husband's current behaviour wrt her son? And just how angry she'll have to get before she reveals names, dates, and account numbers?

#7 So, uh, where's Mike Sylwester?

Off crying somewhere, his heart crushed because, well, we were right and he was wrong.

"What will hurt him is the impression that he has not been completely honest, the impression of a cover-up."

Impression?

#8 Kojo you are a son for me. But I can have other sons and there is only one maltese falcon.

#10 In particular, he will be accused of failing to recognise or deal with conflicts of interest involving the work of his son, Kojo, for Cotecna, a Swiss firm that had a lucrative UN contract in the multi-million-pound humanitarian programme.

"...those were unofficial meetings. I was informed Kofi won those SuperBowl Tickets and use of the Cotecna Luxury box in an office raffle. I only expressed my gratitude for the hospitality. Besides, how much business could be conducted during the game anyway, particularly with the unfortunate Justim Timberlake- Janet Jackson affair..."

#11 UN officials are privately briefing that he has never had a close relationship with his son and that he is exasperated by his behaviour.

These kids today, huh, Kofi? Ungrateful bastards!Ya try and do 'em a favor and look what happens. Bet ya don't know what to do with him anymore, do ya?

#12 Yeah, that's the story! Kojo was so important that Cotecna had to pay him "not to work" for a rival firm. Can't they do any better than that? Why not "Kojo's already dead in my eyes."

#13 If this is was anything close to what the original founders wanted Annan would resign in shame. For some reason LLL politicians wear their incompetence like some badge of honor. Kofi will probably next receive some Novel award for excellence in government. Not that he presided over and had FAMILY involved in the largest financial un scandal ever (that we know of). These people have no shame and DO NOT deserve our reverence or financial support. Can the whole bunch and start over with countries getting seats based on merit and not some silly alphabetical formula.

#14 Guess that means no Father's Day card for Kofi this year....

#15 Kojo better take the stairs and stay well away from elevator shafts...

#16 And no boats. Definitely no boats.
