UNITED NATIONS - Secretary-General Kofi Annan (news - web sites) has selected former President Clinton (news - web sites) to be the U.N. point man for tsunami reconstruction and ensure that the world doesn't forget the needs of those devastated by the Dec. 26 disaster, a U.N. diplomat said Tuesday.

U.N. spokesman Fred Eckhard refused to confirm the appointment but said his office would release a statement shortly. Clinton had no immediate comment....

Oh, I imagine the comment would be something like, "HA ha! SUCK ON THAT ONE, JESSE HELMS!"

Weren't Jeb Bush and Powell sent before? Are they still there?
