Quote of Note: Ken Livingstone
" . . . what it is sickening in this world is people who are venal little crooks like Tuttle, who gets treated with respect just because George Bush has rewarded him with an ambassadorship as a big kickback for contributions to his campaign."
Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London, describing Robert Tuttle, the U.S. Ambassador in London, quoted here. According to news reports, Tuttle has ignored London's congestion charges, which now exceed 1.5 million UK pounds. After the U.S. Embassy, the next most prolific scofflaws are Nigeria and Sudan. BoingBoing points out that,
"In NYC, a country's national corruption index is a good predictor of the likelihood that its UN diplomats will rack up unpaid parking fines." Heckuvajob, Ambassador Tuttle, another brilliant Bushco appointment.
