UN-friggin-believable

What comes to mind when you see these countries?

China, Cuba, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan.

If you are like most sane people, you probably thought human rights violators. You would be wrong, here's what the have in common:

May 9 — Six nations with poor human rights records were among those elected to the new Human Rights Council on Tuesday, although notorious violators that had belonged to the predecessor Human Rights Commission did not succeed in winning places in the new group.

China, Cuba, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan, countries cited by human rights groups as not deserving membership, were among the 47 nations elected to the council. But in a move hailed by the same groups, both Iran and Venezuela failed to attract the needed votes.

Kenneth Roth, the executive director of Human Rights Watch, said: "The good news is that we did better than expected in the voting because Iran and Venezuela both lost. Venezuela's losing shows that bluster and anti-Americanism isn't enough to get elected."

No Mr. Roth, the fact that Venezuela didn't make it will just force Chavez to become more oppressive like Castro and the House of Saud. He didn't make it to Human Rights Commission because he's failed to adequately destroy human rights in his country. He's only in the human rights trampling minor leagues. Triple A probably, but still the minors. It takes alot of years of oppresing your citizens to get to the hall of fame with fellow dictators like Castro.

The UN is such a farce.

Update: Michelle Malkin has more.
