Calling for resignations . . .

This riff on August 18th from Eric Alterman at Altercation:

I see the editors of The New Republic are calling on Kofi Annan to resign. “The big question is whether Annan will insist on continuing to burden the United Nations with his presence or finally go and write his memoirs.” Here (sub.) I don’t want to spend all day on this but, in light of the catastrophe in Iraq from which Annan tried to save us, here is a short list of people who ought to resign, long before we start worrying about Kofi:

• George W. Bush
• Dick Cheney
• Donald Rumsfeld
• Condoleezza Rice
• John Bolton
• Every Republican Senator and Congressman and about half of the Democrats
• Judy Miller
• The entire editorial staff of the Weekly Standard
• Tom Friedman
• Charles Krauthammer
• All of the “talent” at Fox News, and much of it at CNN, and MSNBC
• Limbaugh
• The editors and owners of The New Republic…

• 
  

Spotty says that the sanctimonious turd Norm Coleman, heir to Tail Gunner Joe, should be the first to go.
