TDB | Quote(s) Of The Day

Israeli UN Ambassador, Dan Gillerman, had a few great lines in his interview in this week's New York Times Magazine. I can't pick just one.
You recently called Jimmy Carter a “bigot” after he met with Khaled Meshal, the head of Hamas. Is it true you were reprimanded by the U.S. State Department? There was no complaint or reprimand. The only reaction I received was very positive.

The Palestinians' real tragedy is that they have not been able to produce a Nelson Mandela.
--------------------------------------

[The] mere presence [of the Libyans] on the Security Council is scandalous. No co-op board in this city would even consider letting Libya buy an apartment, yet the U.N. gives it a seat on the world body responsible for peace and security.
--------------------------------------

A diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell and actually make you look forward to the journey.
--------------------------------------

You’re wearing a tie decorated with elephants. Is that a sign of your loyalty to the Republican candidate? No, no, my loyalty is to pink elephants.
