Kofi Annan and... Mel Brooks :)

I really like this, from Jed Babbin at NRO today:

.... Today, U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan again proclaimed the necessity of U.N. control over rebuilding of Iraq and creation of its new government. Without U.N. involvement, he said, the new Iraqi government will lack legitimacy. I finally figured out who Annan reminds me of. In Blazing Saddles, one of the roles Mel Brooks kept for himself was Gov. LePetomain. In one scene, the Gov looked around his roomful of cronies and worried aloud about their latest scheme. "If this doesn't work," he shouted, "we all may lose our phoney baloney jobs." If I closed my eyes and listened, I'd swear it was Kofi Annan talking. In a way, it was.
