Okay fair enough, it's not like he has well-rounded, in-depth, cosmopolitan education and experience of someone that chucks plastic on the ground for a living has, but there you have it.
Very impressive resume. His whole life he has worked:
1. in 1961. He sold hot dogs as a vendor at the Macalester football games
2.In 1962, Annan started working as a Budget Officer for the World Health Organization,
an agency of the United Nations3. Following that, he returned to work for the
United Nations as an Assistant Secretary-General in three consecutive positions: Human Resources Management and Security Coordinator from 1987 to 1990
4. On December 13, 1996, Annan was recommended by the
United Nationsecurity Council to be Secretary-General[1], and was confirmed four days later by vote of the General Assembly[2]. Annan took the oath of office without delay, starting his first term as Secretary-General on January 1, 1997. Annan replaced outgoing Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali of Egypt, becoming the first person from a black African nation to serve as Secretary-General.
Annan's tenure as Secretary-General was renewed on January 1, 2002, in an unusual deviation from informal policy. The office usually rotates among the continents, with two terms each; since Annan's predecessor Boutros-Ghali was also an African, Annan normally would have served only one term and Annan's re-appointment indicated his unusual popularity
So I ask again, what qualifies this idiot to lecture anyone about anything?
Basically he went from selling hotdogs to being a life-long UN employee. He's a joke.
