"Glass Zoo" has been used recently by R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., in a story about John "Thunder" Bolton, the United States representative to the United Nations. It's not an established or accepted nickname for the United Nations building by the East River.

Do not use "glass zoo" in front of people who work there!

When Palestinian terrorists strap a vest full of dynamite on a 12 year old boy so he can go out and kill Jews and himself, there's virtually no reaction at all from liberals in this country, nor from that glass zoo exhibiting dicatators and tyrants in NYC called the UN.

10 March 2005, New York Sun, R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr. column, pg. 11, col. 1:
Bolton has referred to North Korea as "a hellish nightmare" governed by a "tyrannical dictator." Ah, the lilt and substance of Moynihan and Kirkpatrick is about to be restored to the Security Council and the General Assembly. On another occasion Bolton wrote that if the glass zoo on the East River that is UN headquarters "lost ten stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference."
