I'm searching to find a connection here, and all I can come up with is, you need a change of subject quickly. Okay, enough with the French, I suppose. I take that as a concession.

As to JN, the guy gets this rap every time he's been appointed, which, I think, will now be to nine government posts. Maybe he did what derecha says - I don't know. I was never a fan of Ollie's, and paid little attention to that whole chapter. But, it seems to me that, after how many confirmation battles where these accusations keep getting brought up, it says something that he keeps getting confirmed. I understand that him being a part of the UN right now is hardly a good recommendation, but I'm hoping he can overcome that deficit.
