Mark Malloch Brown and George Soros... Seems to me that Mark Malloch Brown has not much credibility until he gets off the payroll of George Soros... >>>>>And taxpayers just have this pesky tendency to want their representatives to live modestly and conduct public affairs with private interests at arms length. And how is Mr. Malloch Brown going to deal with Mr. Soros at arms length if he is locked into an arrangement with the billionaire that requires the U.N. official to fork over each month nearly 100% of his net pay check? That may make sense to Mr. Malloch Brown, but it won't make sense to the ordinary man in the street. And then there is the political blunder. Mr. Malloch Brown can assert all he wants about his right to choose his friends. But what does it say about the political orientation of the United Nations' top brass when the friend turns out to be the most ardent foe of the man the United Nations wants to sign the checks for hundreds of millions of dollars in its operating expenses. We speak here of President Bush, whose approach to foreign affairs Mr. Soros has likened to that of the Nazis. He pledged himself to spend millions on Mr. Bush's defeat. What are Americans, who just finished elevating Mr. Bush to a second term, supposed to make of Mr. Malloch Brown's cozy relationship with Mr. Soros? What is the Congress supposed to make of it? Here Mr. Malloch Brown is in the midst of a desperate struggle to convince the Congress not to cut American dues to the world body and he fetches up in bed with a man who spent the last election cycle likening the Republicans' leader to Hitler. One doesn't have to be a multilingual, United Nations sophisticate to find the right word for this kind of stunt.<<<<< nysun.com
