Kofi not one of the boys

I don't know what's wrong with Kofi Annan, the UN Secretary General, who just cut short his vacation in his home country of Ghana (on the othe side of the world) by almost a whole week to return to New York for last-minute talks aimed at securing a deal on reforming the world body.

I mean, what was he thinking?! He clearly isn't in President Bush's league, since George steadfastly refused to shorten his record-setting, record-breaking five-week vacation to deal with Iraq's quagmire, or to talk to the pain-stricken mother of a dead soldier, or to coordinate the rescue effort for an incoming monstrous hurricane.

No, wait, the latter did force him to cut his vacation, by 2 full days, and that only after the hurricane had hit and devastated 3 states neighboring his home state of Texas.

Evidently, Annan doesn't have the state of the art equipment that allowed Mr. Bush to work from his ranch as if he was at the office.
