GOV. PERDUE MEETS U.N. SECRETARY-GENERAL BAN KI-MOON: Ban’s job requires him to meet regularly with tyrants and despots. (photo by Joeff Davis)
His driveway freshly pressure-washed for the occasion, Gov. Sonny Perdue welcomed U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to the Governor’s Mansion on Friday. Perdue greeted the Sec-Gen at his car and escorted him inside for a joint news conference during which he answered polite questions about Georgia (he apparently likes it), Jimmy Carter (he apparently likes him) and the military junta in Burma (he apparently doesn’t like them).
Among the dignitaries at the press conference were Secretary of State Karen Handel, and, um, Bert Weiss of Q100’s The Bert Show in a suit-and-tie. Weiss told me he was invited by the governor to join him for lunch with Ban after the press conference. If I were Frank Ski, I’d be ticked.
