The worst US ambassador to the UN evah...

Investor's Business Daily has a devastating takedown of the United States' ambassador to the United Nations, Lazy Susan Rice. This is from the first link (Hat Tip: Ricky G).

Last Wednesday, in a quintessential example, the ambassador complained that terror state Iran was not being helpful in its dealings with terror state Syria.

"Iran is definitely part of the problem in Syria," Rice said. "It is supporting, aiding and abetting the Assad regime materially and in many other ways, and it has shown no readiness to contribute constructively." Can anyone imagine the late, great Jeane Kirkpatrick uttering the understatement that Moscow was showing "no readiness to contribute constructively"?

No, Kirkpatrick played audio evidence of the Soviet empire shooting down a Korean airliner filled with innocents to the Security Council; she boasted of finally removing the "kick me" sign from America's back; she wrote articles about "dictatorships and double standards," namely the left's refusal to see crucial differences between authoritarianism and totalitarianism.

Can anyone imagine ex-U.N. Ambassador John Bolton whining in frustration like Rice? He was too busy pointing out the U.N.'s hypocrisy in denouncing imaginary U.S. human rights abuses while being dominated by undemocratic regimes who slaughter their citizens.

Susan Rice is a non-entity who says nothing even when she speaks. No surprise since she represents a foreign policy built on President Obama's supposedly irresistible charisma, approved by the Nobel Peace Prize Committee and accompanied by a guarantee that "Any Change Is Change You Should Believe In."

Hopefully there will be a Romney administration, and hopefully it will include a UN Ambassador like Kirkpatrick or Bolton - or for that matter Daniel Patrick Moynihan or Binyamin Netanyahu. Read the whole thing.
