U.N. Elects Iran to Commission on Women’s Rights? Snarky 6, What Else Did They Do?
In a move that only people in the U.N. and the Obama Administration could see as reasonable, the United Nations elected IRAN to a U.N. Commission on Women’s Rights. You can’t make this stuff up!
From FoxNews.com:
Without fanfare, the United Nations this week elected Iran to its Commission on the Status of Women, handing a four-year seat on the influential human rights body to a theocratic state in which stoning is enshrined in law and lashings are required for women judged “immodest.”
Just days after Iran abandoned a high-profile bid for a seat on the U.N. Human Rights Council, it began a covert campaign to claim a seat on the Commission on the Status of Women, which is “dedicated exclusively to gender equality and advancement of women,” according to its website.
Buried 2,000 words deep in a U.N. press release distributed Wednesday on the filling of “vacancies in subsidiary bodies,” was the stark announcement: Iran, along with representatives from 10 other nations, was “elected by acclamation,” meaning that no open vote was requested or required by any member states — including the United States.
MMM, can you smell the appeasement? But that’s a topic for another day. Today I would like to list the top 6 other appointments to various UN Commissions that make as much sense as marrying Iran to women’s rights.
- Kathy Griffin was elected to the U.N. Commission on Funny.
- Amy Winehouse was added to the U.N. Commission on How to not Look or Act Like a Crack Whore.
- KFC was named to the UN Commission on Making Sandwich Awesomeness.
- Kate Gosselin was elected Chairwoman to the U.N.’s: How To Not Make People Roll Their Eyes When They Hear Your Name… Commission.
- NBC was named to the U.N. Commission on How Not to F#$% Up Late Night Television.
- Speaking of NBC, Saturday Night Live sucks.(Yes. That’s number 6.)
