Humourous article on it(exert copied below)

United Nations officials in New York said they were “still trying to find out exactly what happened” to enable a man dressed as Colonel Harlan Sanders to get past security and into the UN building on October 22.  Reports suggested that a UN security guard and apparent Sanders sympathizer had personally escorted the Colonel past security barriers and into the General Assembly.

A spokesman for the current President of the General Assembly, Dr. Ali A. Treki, denied rumors that the president had actually met with Sanders, though that statement seemed to be undermined by this photo:

The spokesman stuck to his guns.  “I wouldn’t call that a meeting,” he said.  “No appointment [was] scheduled.”  He eventually conceded, though, that Sanders did experience “a brief encounter with the president of the General Assembly.”  That was getting a little too close to “romantic interlude” for my comfort, but the spokesman then clarified that Treki just shook hands in order to be polite.

I was staying in a hotel in LA once and there was a Colonel Sanders impersonator staying there as well. He would come down to breakfast in the morning all dressed up in the white suit and everything. It would be really funny if it were the same guy.

I know. I can’t imagine that there are a whole bunch of colonel sander’s impersonators running around. Seems like a weird career choice.

Perhaps he’s actually a non-specialised colonel impersonator.  Colonel Sanders, Colonel Mustard, Colonel Blimp, Colonel Bogey, Colonel O’Korne. . .he’ll be any one of them for eleven dollars an hour!

It would have been even funnier if he had been carrying around a bucket of KFC….  

What’s creepier is the hospital that is dedicated to Harlan Sanders. Jewish hospital is Shelbyville Ky has a statue in front and pictures all over the place. Apperently he was a big contributier
