Stuck On Stupid

NEXT week’s farewell bash for United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan may be more like a wake than a party.

Sources tell Page Six the outgoing Ghana-born leader has infuriated so many people during his reign that his Tuesday farewell gala at the U.N. could be noticeably under-attended. "He’s so detested it will be interesting to see who doesn’t show," a source says.

Among those bitter at Annan are 7,000 members of the U.N. Staff Union in New York. He has refused to schedule an official goodbye meeting with them to discuss their concerns, offering to hold only an "informal encounter in the U.N. cafeteria," union vice president Emad Hassanin told NewsMax.com. Issues include early retirements, budget cuts and charges of sexual harassment by senior U.N. officials.

Also not expected to show is outgoing U.N. Ambassador John Bolton, who’s also said to be skipping the swearing-in ceremony of new U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
