"The Hunting of the Snark," one of my favorite poems (my rotisserie league team is called the Bensky Snarks) is considered a masterpiece of nonsense writing and somehow, when it comes to nonsense, Lewis Carroll was apparently prescient about the UN. “But the judge said he never had summed up before,
So the Snark undertook it instead,
And summed it so well that it came to much more
Than the witnesses ever had said.”

However he is working on the P. T. Barnum principle and figuring that most Americans are too busy following "Dancing With the Stars" to bother looking for the truth. The rest of the world is already accepting the blood libels. He is actually lieing to himself to convince himself that if he "throws the Jews under the bus" the world will accept him.

Ah Richard, it profiteth a man not to sell his soul for the world, but for Turtle Bay?

With the EU lukewarm to the report, and the USA's vote against it, I think his chances are down the drain. Kissing up doesn't always work.

Like a limbo this is not a good place to be, especially when the wind is blowing. The problem is that the pro Israeli blogsphere is the only one blowing the wind and we need a storm. It is obvious from his denial that some of the wind does reach him. But since his just a fig leaf it will have no impact beyond him. To the people behind the report he and his career and reputation are expendable.
