Odious Congressman of the Day

Salon reports Rep Engel making a complete fool of himself.

Rep. Elliot Engel of New York, another Democrat, told the crowd that the United Nations had discredited itself by having Ahmadinejad speak, and that instead Ahmadinejad should have been arrested for terrorism once he set foot inside New York City.


I thought it was only Republicans who didn't understand the UN. A country can not host the UN if it arrests visiting foreign leaders. Regardless of what Ahmadinejad has done it's complete absurd to advocate breaching every diplomatic rule and arresting him on a UN visit. Engle is as bad as a Republican. Instead of negotiating with foreign governments he doesn't like, Engel advocates blatantly illegal action against them.
