Posted by manbag's bagman on 2006 10 10 at 08:59 PM • permalinkAdele Horin looks original by comparison.
Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2006 10 10 at 08:59 PM • permalinkI’m DEEPLY CONCERNED that Kofi copped Tom Daschle’s old schtick!
Posted by Ed Driscoll on 2006 10 10 at 09:06 PM • permalinkI was DEEPLY CONCERNED about Kofi’s ability for a number of years and look where that got me.
Hopefully the South Korean will be a little less concerned and a little more active. Don’t laugh it could happen… he does live next to North Korea rather than on the other side of the world.
Still I suppose the unrepresentative swill will block any progress.
His Deepness is quite diverse:
SECRETARY-GENERAL DEEPLY SADDENED
SECRETARY-GENERAL DEEPLY DISTURBED
SECRETARY-GENERAL DEEPLY REGRETS
SECRETARY-GENERAL DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED
SECRETARY-GENERAL DEEPLY TROUBLED
SECRETARY-GENERAL DEEPLY MOVED
SECRETARY-GENERAL DEEPLY DISMAYED
Posted by manbag's bagman on 2006 10 10 at 09:06 PM • permalinkType in just your everyday, run of the mill “concerned” and it becomes a veritable database.
Kofi hasn’t just been deeply concerned!Kofi has been:
Gravely concerned
Greatly concerned
More-than-ever Concerned
Extremely Concerned
Very Concerned
Seriously Concerned
and just ConcernedWhat a useless idiot.
Posted by Hank Reardon on 2006 10 10 at 09:07 PM • permalinkWhat you need to understand is that these are the same as DEFCON levels. Each type of “concerned” leads to an action:
concerned=call my P.A.
very concerned=why are you telling me this?
seriously concerned=watch it, you’re putting me off my lunch
greatly concerned= I had a call from Bush right in the middle of lunch. It better not happen again!
Deeply concerned= I held a press conference.Of course all the other “deeplys” are just greeting cards.
You’re missing the nuance. Is he deeply concerned with a world-weary sigh, deeply concerned while rubbing his tortured brow, deeply concerned while looking heavenward and beseeching the uncaring gods for guidance, etc.?
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2006 10 10 at 09:16 PM • permalinkI’d blame the verbal repetition on Kofi’s massive case of BDS, but I’m deeply concerned that his highly personal Tourette’s symptoms predate it.
Posted by Ed Driscoll on 2006 10 10 at 09:18 PM • permalinkI think we need the Kofi Countdown.
He’ll be gone soon, and we can all deeply breathe a deep sigh of deep relief.
And at the same time, remain deeply concerned that f*#k all has changed and the Unhinged Nations.

Kofi was Extremely Concerned by Reports of Uranium Enrichment Program in North Korea in Oct 2002 but only Deeply Concerned once they launched a nuke a couple of days ago.
Contrast this with the defcon 5 of all “concerned’s” the More-than-Ever Concerned that came earlier this year when Kofi coveyed his level of concern for the “Deteriorating Situation in Nepal”Posted by Hank Reardon on 2006 10 10 at 09:30 PM • permalinkThis cut and paste caper is a piece of cake!

Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2006 10 10 at 09:37 PM • permalinkThanks Miranda for #19.
What I gleaned from your list is that His Deepness talks the talk without much walking the walk. Committees, conventions, talkfests, media releases. And lots of caveats around fighting terrorism.
Still waiting for the UN to agree on a defintion for terrorism. And some Chapter 7 resolutions against terrorist states or entities other than al Qaeda.
To be fair, he is prisoner to the inaction sponsored by the two voting blocks: OIC and ‘Non-Aligned Nations’.
That said, he could spend more of his idle time on matters other than getting his son, Kojo - freshly out of college with zero experience - to be paid large sums of money as a ‘consultant’.

Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2006 10 10 at 10:04 PM • permalinkMiranda was more interesting before her brain completely melted. Now she’s just boring and pointless.
Much like Fisk and Chomsky.
Posted by Crispytoast on 2006 10 10 at 10:05 PM • permalinkHey, its been obvious for a long time that the UN just issues repetitive, meaningless statements. I wrote this post back in June.
Its not just “deeply concerned”.. try and search for the expression “very very”
Hans Blix said the following:
And if the North Koreans move on, well the risks are very, very great. If the North Koreans were to test a weapon, yes, it would be very, very serious.or these comments by Kofi:
North Korea to do away with this in my view has very very high priority and I think that the first line of action should be on the field of political and security policies.KOFI ANNAN: Yes. I think that—let me say that the Iranians, in my judgment, hyped up their achievement quite considerably, because what they have achieved is the very, very beginning.
Miranda: Truly, Madly Deeply

Posted by The Thin Man Returns on 2006 10 10 at 10:09 PM • permalinkI just hope Kofi retires and stays retired.
Unlike those former presidents and cretins for life, Carter and Clinton, who would do the world a big favor by signing endorsement contracts for, say, these and these, respectively.
Come to think of it, Kofi should endorse these. Give this guy enough money, and he’ll sing, baby!
O/T, while searching for a suitable Kofi link, I found this. Ought to be entertaining......
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2006 10 10 at 10:32 PM • permalinkI’m still waiting for some accountability and for the Kof to be buried over the oil-for-food thing. If it happens, I hope that burial is deeply deep.
Posted by Do not beat around the Dubya on 2006 10 10 at 10:56 PM • permalinkThe Kofster was DEEPLY CONCERNED when his son was found out to be shifty.
The Kofster is DEEPLY CONCERNED the UN is only loved, respected, and fawned over by deposts, cranks and international criminals. Lefty western dhimmitude governments and MSM media, all eager to see their respective countries sign a plethora of agreements, that subjucate their nations independence, of thought and decision making.
Time to ditch this, hypicritical “shelter for the weird and dangerous”.Fear not, for it is only a couple of months before His Deepness retires.
Enter Action Man - Mr. Ban Ki-moon (think of the endless fun that lies ahead with that name)
His nickname, according to this week’s Economist, is Ban-chusa, meaning “administrative clerk” (witty lot these UN folk)
Many will say that the UN’s opaque selection policy has alighted upon the lowest common denominator - the choice does not set the pulse racing.
A lot more deep emotions to come then.
Posted by pommygranate on 2006 10 10 at 11:07 PM • permalinkO/T - Babs has gone off her rocker… again!
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2006 10 10 at 11:22 PM • permalinkYep, I too am deeply concerned.
I am deeply concerned that club for kleptomaniacs is still meeting in New York.
I am deeply concerned that Kim Mentally Il is still sucking air.
I am deeply concerned that I can expect nothing more than deep concern out of Mr. Kofi.
I am deeply concerned that the entire mess will be blamed on the current administration...3...2...1...liftoff.
And I am most deeply concerned that we haven’t learned a damned thing from dealing with these cretins and will continue to offer them rewards for bad behavior.
Monkey boy had the balls to threaten the US today with a nuclear attack if we don’t lift sanctions on his money laundering and counterfeiting of our currency. If TR was President, NoKo would already be nothing but crispy critters and alpha bits.
Does anyone know whether anything has been done regarding any of these things Kofi has been ‘deeply concerned’ over? You know, like those actions against Zimbabwe, or Sudan?
Posted by Stuart Lord on 2006 10 11 at 01:26 AM • permalinkI am overawed with ambivalence towards the UN.
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2006 10 11 at 04:06 AM • permalinkWas it coincidence that the Deeply Popular Republic of Korea let of an A-bomb the same day the new, Korean, UN secretaqry-general was nominated?
Were they celebrating the arrival of a Korean or the deaptrure of Koffi?
Posted by Wimpy Canadian on 2006 10 11 at 05:11 AM • permalinkHmmm.
Consistent Kofi? Kofi? Coffee!!
I forgot to get a cup of coffee this morning!
My God! What the heck am I thinking of!
Thanks Tim. :)
Posted by memomachine on 2006 10 11 at 11:14 AM • permalinkNot 10 minutes before tripping over this post, I was (re-)reading Lileks’ classic
... (We hear about that famous Brazilian Butterfly whose wings set off a cyclone on the other side of the world; no one ever wonders about the impact on the weather of the breeze stirred up by the gently-shaken wattles of a Deeply Troubled EU diplomat. They’re probably responsible for 70% of our summertime tornadoes.) ...
What are the odds...?
“I thought the vice president handled the issue just fine,” the president said. “Yesterday when he was here in the Oval Office I saw the deep concern he had about a person who he wounded.”
Posted by Miranda Divide on 2006 10 11 at 06:54 PM • permalinkPlease keep to the topic, Miranda, since you apparently can’t be funny or interesting.
Posted by Andrea Harris, Administrator on 2006 10 11 at 07:14 PM • permalinkHow about if Kofi contents himself with being weakly concerned about a problem but gets off his ass just once during his term and fricking does something about it? Nah, he’d have to cooperate with the USA to do something, cause nobody else is willing to stand up (save a couple of our allies like OZ). That would be just too, too unacceptable.
Posted by Michael Lonie on 2006 10 11 at 08:24 PM • permalinkThe Bush White House is often saddened. Of the death of Maureen Reagan? Saddened. Sportscaster Jack Buck? Deeply saddened. Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh? Shocked and Saddened. Former Senators Pat Moynihan and Paul Simon? Saddened and Saddened. Dale Earnhart? Saddened. Princess Margaret? Deeply Saddened. The miserable, Halifax-loving, Hitler-appeasing Queen Mother? Deeply Saddened. Iranian Earthquake Victims? Greatly saddened. Thai flood victims? Very saddened. Indian earthquake? Merely saddened.
Of course, President Clinton was likewise deeply saddened at the death of King Hussein, of the folks at Waco, Leah Rabin, Former Japanese Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi, and of the victims of the Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.

I’m DEEPLY CONCERNED that he may need to take Prozac if this keeps up. Where can we sign a petition to get him a raise in pay? Shopping helps. Maybe he should buy new shoes and a matching handbag.
