Leach for UN Ambassador?

"He is the most diplomatic politician I have ever met," Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., said of Leach, a moderate from Iowa known for his professorial sweaters, his low-key, nonpolitical approach to issues and his opposition to the war in Iraq. (FoxNews)

That's all I need to hear. Not just no, but hell no. The last thing we need is some bunny hugger in Turtle Bay. The place is a verifiable cesspool which consists of child-rapist blue helmets, corrupt administrators, and is little more than a Gentlemen's club for tyrants, dictators and the criminally insane.

John Bolton is (was) an ass kicker. He kept America out of the completely absurd human rights commission, got resolutions against North Korea, and has been punishing in his efforts to reform the waste of good NY real estate.

I don't know anything about Leach except what this article says, but its all I need to know. Why the hell would you appoint someone whose against your largest foreign policy effort (that is to say Iraq) to a foreign policy post?

You always know its gonna be a warm softy appointment, when everyone is talking about how diplomatic someone is. When did the definition of diplomacy get changed from, "saying nice doggie until you can get a stick," to, "say nice doggie till you can get another dog biscuit."?
