3. I'm still waiting for a media expose on the GOP's "Culture of Corruption".
The corporate media has chosen not to even raise the question.

2. Oh, yes. We should ALL be very concerned about the "Culture
of Corruption" in the UN, not the US. Now, if the UN sent all its reps home and the Republicans fill everyone's seat, then things would be honky-dorey.

7. The report included Ambassador John "PNAC" Bolton's 2 cents on the issue.
What ever happened to "Clean up your own backyard"?

8. Oh right, this is Wolfie's thing...
The UN has a culture of corruption... so Wolfowitz requires naked cronyism to embark on his campaign to clean it up! ...Actual argument.

Of course, who knows who else Bolton spied on.
