Trump Lux For Iraq Envoy

IRAQ'S ambassador to the United Nations, Hamid al Bayati, likes the high life. Bayati, who's been on the job for just over a year, is said to be living in a $22,000-a-month apartment at Trump World Tower on First Avenue. He's renting while the Iraqi U.N. Mission and official ambassador's residence on East 79th Street undergo a $40 million renovation. Where did the Iraqis get the cash? Newsmax.com reports the U.N. Security Council is paying with funds it once used to finance the now-terminated U.N. Iraq arms inspectors. When asked about the lavish use of the cash, Bayati refused comment. U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Zalmay Khalilzad shrugged off the Iraqis' lush lifestyle by telling reporters, "$40 million is not a lot of money." According to U.N. documents, the U.S. delegation approved the transfer of the cash from the Security Council to Iraq. All of this comes as the federal Government Accounting Office reported the war in Iraq is costing American taxpayers $12 billion monthly.

Just Asking

. . . WHICH White House correspondent had to spring into action when his 5-year-old son used a swimming pool in Martha's Vineyard as a toilet?

1. Ew. How do you fix a pool that's been shat in? Drain all the water and start over?

2. You chlorinate the heck out of it.

3. Yep, I guess you would "shock" it, and while that might work microbially,

it would not work psychologically, for me--I'd still know I was swimming in fecal residue, even if it's sterilized. Urgh.

4. but every pool on earh contains some fecal reside, I'm sure...and don't
