So The Malevolent Midget Malcorra is bemoaning about the 'leaks'.

She should remember all the leaks she has done since the 'new' government of The Dark Country took power.

Hopefully. she is finished.

“It’s 'critically important' to ensure that the process inspires trust....”

That would leave out Malacara. And anyone else from Argentina, which in recent history has demonstrated a degree of trustworthiness nearly as great as that of North Korea.

You hit the nail on the head. Only the 'disconnected-from-reality' Malacara to believe she could become the new UN the' Secretary-General....

”... in the middle of the 12-candidate pack”

So there were 5 or 6 candidates worse than her? The quality of politicians and diplomats these days is clearly very low.

I hear that Saddam Hussein came out ahead of Malacara in the first polling, and he's been dead for years.

@6. That information is incorrect.

See was tied with Saddam behind Idi Amin.

Get your facts straight.

It seems as though “middle of the pack” actually means 8th place out of 12, for Malacara. Kiwi Clark came in 6th.

Former Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Guterres came in first. Apparently he rated 12 votes in favor and he is the only contender to receive no negative votes. Malacara got at least four negative votes, considered enough to sink a candidate's prospects.

Obama's government is evidently not smart enough to recognise that Malacara would be an abysmal choice, but we have become accustomed to that sort of thing.

Apparently Malacara's bad showing in the first round is being at least partially attributed to indications of her participation in a coverup dealing with child abuse by UN workers.

She will be another RCC prisoner and unable to take the correct action, just like the RCC itself.

If these pathetic creatures were in a commercial business the CEO (The Dope of an Argy Pope) would be in jail.
