O'Reilly: Tap Clinton to Head U.N.
Who better to lead the corrupt United Nations than an impeached former president of the United States?
It's an idea that's gaining currency in some unexpected quarters.

"I'd like to see Bill Clinton take the job," Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly said Tuesday. "The world loves him. He'd do a good job. It would be good for the United States. Hillary would love it."
"O'Reilly Factor" guest, former U.N. ambassador Richard Holbrooke, agreed. But while Clinton would be perfect for the job, Holbrooke said he didn't think scandal-scarred U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan should be forced out.
Clinton, however, is so popular with the U.N.'s America-haters that Annan may have no choice. One word of encouragement from the man who cut America's military in half, gave away our nuclear missile technology and coddled Yasser Arafat for eight years and it's curtains for Kofi.
And what could be more appropriate? The star figure of the Oil for Food scandal, which prompted the latest calls for Kofi to resign, is none other than Marc Rich - the billionaire tax fugitive pardoned by Clinton in his last official presidential act.
Maybe after Clinton takes over for Annan, he can appoint Rich to replace U.N. disaster relief coordinator Jan "Americans are Stingy" Engeland.
