hehehe this is priceless. Apparently a guy who works for the United Nations is staying in one of George Soros’ properties for the exact salary the guys makes with the UN. ??? Sounds quite fishy and is also illegal. But do you think that will stop them? nah.

A top aide to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan is defending his rental of a home in a posh New York suburb from billionaire financier and Democratic money-raiser George Soros.

Mark Malloch Brown acknowledged last week he pays $120,000 a year in rent to Soros, who last year orchestrated an expensive and unsuccessful effort to defeat President Bush. Brown’s annual salary as Annan’s chief of staff is $125,000.

Brown denied there is anything inappropriate about having Soros as his landlord, telling reporters at a daily news briefing, “I pay a full commercial rent for the one property of his that I live in.”

With Bush a Republican and Congress controlled by the GOP, Annan’s point man having such a financial relationship with Soros could raise eyebrows in Washington. Soros contributed more than $23 million to moveon.org and other groups that sought to topple Bush.

And this relationship is illegal.

An anonymous e-mail that has circulated internally within the development program and to the media contends that Leites’ actions violate U.N. regulations intended to keep the organization politically neutral.

But just about everyone knows it’s not–take a look at all the socialist/communist countries who are members.
