Maybe it's just me...

...because, after all, I have been out of touch for a few days, but doesn't it seem like there must be some Republican functionary somewhere who'd make a better UN Ambassador than the guy who says stuff like this...

"There's no such thing as the United Nations."

"If the U.N. secretary building in New York lost 10 stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference."

"...many Republicans in Congress - and perhaps a majority - not only do not care about losing the General Assembly vote but actually see it as a ‘make my day' outcome. Indeed, once the vote is lost, and the adverse consequences predicted by the U.N.'s supporters begin to occur, this will simply provide further evidence to many why nothing more should be paid to the U.N. system."

These guys aren't even trying anymore. Jeebus.
