Not that we needed any more proof that the UN is an irrelevant, hypocritical, and disgraceful organization, but here’s a nice little gem:

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."

How can a country that gives zero rights to women be part of a commission on women’s rights? Moreover, how can this happen without so much as an objection from the US?

I’m going to go out on a limb and say it’s because we have a pathetic president who will do anything to cozy up to our enemies. He’ll do whatever it takes not to offend the delicate sensibilities of the world’s thugs, dictators, and mass murderers.

I know, you’re shocked.
