Sounds like someone's in need of a heartfelt, compassionate conservative hug.

"We need someone like her back at the un to tell the monkeys to get back in the trees, the bananas are ripe."

Well, there you have it. A Republican view of the world.

Let them not come within a million miles of the levers of power again, in my lifetime.

I doubt that Ms. Kirkpatrick and her boss would have passed "The World Test," or cared a wit about the respect and acceptance of our West European Socialist allies during her tenure at the un.
She was not liked by most of the members, but she was respected for her candor, toughness, and uncompromising approach to diplomacy. Kissing ass and kicking ass was always in her bag. We need someone like her back at the un to tell the monkeys to get back in the trees, the bananas are ripe.
She was a tough lady, she will be missed.

There wasn't a presidential election that I didn't think of JK running for that position. I thought she was a great person and would have voted for her.

Met her a couple of times. An extraordinarily vibrant person. Even while sitting still she appeared to be in motion. Truly a loss.

Jeane Kirkpatrick was one of the first "tough broads" in American gov't. Tough and smart. Oh, and right. I can certainly understand how a lefty would be intimidated by said person.

God bless her and speed her to a well-deserved rest, and may her family rejoice in a life well-lived.

What's the matter Tano, run out of graves to piss on in your town?

Tano, bitter bitter person.
JK served in a different time, when we were in direct conflict with the Soviet Union. She was a forceful diplomat, no doubt, but she was no evil person as you make out. She was also about a 1,000x smarter than most people. This is a loss for all of this.

Yeah, one of the original neocons. Supporter of authoritarian death-squads against democratically elected governments that were too lefty for her taste. Model for the antagonistic diplomat - a model that has served us so well in our international relations. Pioneer in knowingly presenting false information to the UN.

Sorry, I know we are supposed to say nice things about people when they pass, so I guess I will just stop now.
