F-bombs flying in Congress

Last week, the House of Representatives passed a bill to gut the United Nations calling the institution "corrupt" and an apologist for "tyranny and terror." Considering that many of the same people who voted for the "F#ck the United Nations Act of 2005" are embroiled in their own corruption scandals, it seems like they wouldn't want to be throwing around the c-word at this particular moment. But no, Majority Leader Tom DeLay even had the temerity to say:

"The U.N.'s corruption is so breathtaking in its scope as to be almost universal."

It was another big f-bomb from the American right-wing toward that institution that it reviles with such fervor. This week the Senate revived its own f-bomb to the UN, the nomination of John Bolton, despite recent reports that the world is safer now that the mustachioed monster has left the State Department.

During debate over Bolton's nomination, f-bombs directed at the UN and at the minority party in Congress continued to swirl around until Senate Democrats finally said, "Shut up, you right-wing nuts. This nomination is dead."

F-bombs are flying at this building

Unfortunately, President Bush has one more opportunity to hurl an f-bomb. He can install Bolton as Ambassador to the United Nations through a recess appointment, sending a clear message to the UN, to Democrats, and to the world- F#ck you all, I run this planet.
