Helms Invokes (bashes) Bill Clinton, U.N. in Letter
Tuesday February 1, 2005 5:16 PM


By PAUL NOWELL

Associated Press Writer

In a fund-raising a letter for his senatorial library, Helms invokes the specter of the former president leading the United Nations after Kofi Annan retires next year.

``I'm sure you might agree that putting a left-wing, undisciplined and ethically challenged former President of the United States into a position of such power would be a tragic mistake,'' wrote the 83-year-old Republican, who left office in 2003 after five terms.

The Associated Press obtained a copy of the letter Tuesday. It contains a petition asking President Bush to ``rebuke all efforts by Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and every other liberal in Congress to push for Bill Clinton to become Secretary-General of the United Nations.''

The Jesse Helms Center in Wingate, 30 miles southeast of Charlotte, has a lecture series that has attracted speakers such as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Its Web site describes it as a ``nonpartisan organization'' that promotes the principles espoused by Helms.

26. Yeah, that's how I pretty much disprove heaven and hell.
Fun to post, but it has a serious side. I have a name for it too.

If lets say for Jesse Helms (A bad man) to experience hell he would need a nemesis, Clinton. But Clinton (A good man) would be in heaven, so why would Clinton be in hell? Furthermore, for Clinton to enjoy going to hell to make Jesse Helms eternal damnation every bit as awful, then Clinton never deserved to be in heaven for such pettiness and is therefore a bad man. Therefore, thanks to Clinton and Jesse Helms I have proven that heaven and hell doesn't exist.

I call this the "Eternity Paradox".

11. Jesse, you ass
Clinton can't succeed Kofi Annan. The Secretary General of the UN can't come from a permanent member of the Security Council. Yes, this is the guy who was Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee- typical Rethug expertise.

12. Clinton is the only Pres we've had that the UN could stand dealing with.
So I don't see how that comes as much of a shock. You know, almost any other nation would be extremely pleased that a former President of their country might become the head of the United Nations. As if we didn't already have enough influence at the UN. . . but not here. I honestly think that most Republicans hate Clinton more than bin Laden.

13. I've been watching this...I think it's why Clinton is being nice to Bush.
He wants the post, and I think Bush may have the final say in whether or not it happens.

Having Clinton as UN Secretary General with Bush as President would be pretty amazing, though.

nafta, globalization IMF, WTO. This is scary. Why does it have to be an American? Are we up next for this position? Look out world if this is so.

Helms Pleads to Keep Clinton Out of U.N.
By PAUL NOWELL, Associated Press Writer

CHARLOTTE, N.C - They may both be out of office, but Bill Clinton remains the ultimate boogeyman for former Sen. Jesse Helms.

In a fund-raising a letter for his senatorial library, Helms invokes the specter of the former president leading the United Nations after Kofi Annan (news - web sites) retires next year.

"I'm sure you might agree that putting a left-wing, undisciplined and ethically challenged former President of the United States into a position of such power would be a tragic mistake," wrote the 83-year-old Republican, who left office in 2003 after five terms.

He stopped the US from paying its UN dues, he opposed the Test Ban Treaty and Kyoto Protocol. Now he is shilling for money and invokes the two biggest RW boogeymen out there Clinton and the UN.
His legacy is not enough to get him a library so again a puke is using the Big Dog to get paid. Non partisan my ass!
