So, here I am wondering if the 1600 Crew can be further humiliated. Yup, hope so. As Commander Codpiece heads off to the UN on Tuesday (that's up North, Dorky) to beg where he once boasted, I sure think it would be funny if say the Ambassadors for the International Confectionary Alliance sent their administrative assistants and chauffers to sit in their seats in the big hall, and they all went to the Tavern on the Green for lunch...

President Bush stood before the United Nations General Assembly a year ago and pledged to unite the world against Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

Six months ago he went to war, almost alone, having failed in months of diplomacy to win explicit U.N. support.

Tuesday, he returns to the U.N. -- short of cash, short of troops and looking for help.

The question is how much he is likely to get from countries that opposed the Iraq venture from the start and that remain resentful of alleged American arrogance since.

I have to wonder if the world is going to look different from his knees, not that being there will do him much good...republicans are opposed to that on principle, remember?
