Bunker Mulligan "Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry." ~Mark Twain

That phrase isn’t mine…it was used by Steve Doocey on FNC this morning. They interviewed all the Democratic candidates they could today.

Howard Dean wants to “take the government back from corporate intersts like Enron, Halliburton, Global Crossing, and give it back to the people.” If he is that ignorant of facts, why would anyone want him to be President? If he is slinging BS, I have to ask the same question.

Dick Gephart was at least sane. He just wants us to make nice with the UN.

Kofi Annan wants the same thing:

U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan is prepared to try to help the United States salvage its Iraq strategy, despite more than a year of rancorous relations over the country, largely due to his deep concern about the potential for a political implosion in Iraq, according to senior U.S. and U.N. officials.

But Annan, who is also wary of U.S. motives, intends to ask some tough and specific questions in talks with L. Paul Bremer, the U.S. governor of Iraq, and the Iraqi Governing Council at their meeting today in New York, U.N. officials say. The key is how much authority the United States is willing to cede on policy, a critical issue because the United Nations does not want to be used simply to give credibility to the troubled U.S. plan to hand over power to Iraq by June 30.

Of course. The US plan is “troubled” and needs to be “salvaged” by the UN.

I don’t think Gephart will get my vote, either.
