Either The Mighty Really Have Fallen, Or We’re Getting Punked

In what can only be understood as the political equivalent of a “pity f*ck,” The U.N. has named Bill Clinton its special envoy to Haiti.

What else is there to say, really, except … Haiti?

Seriously?

Secretary of State Hillary is gallivanting around the globe, busy with actual foreign policy engagements … and Bill gets Haiti, where he’ll be dealing with the aftermath of flooding.

From Bill’s statement:

Last year’s natural disasters took a great toll, but Haiti’s government and people have the determination and ability to “build back better,” not just to repair the damage done but to lay the foundations for the long term sustainable development that has eluded them for so long.

They say you get what you’re paid for (or something), and it must be true. Bill Clinton’s annual salary will be $1.

We’d like to say something of value here, something other than the “just the facts” reporting you’ll see about this everywhere else.

But what else is there to say, really, except … Haiti?

Seriously?
