Why are they picking on poor John Bolton? Everyone knows the man is perfect for the United Nations job.
For one thing, his raging-bull temperament is ideally suited to an organization steeped in global pettifoggers and oil-for-food pilferers.
The uncombed, untethered Mr. Bolton is fabulously operatic - the Naomi Campbell of the Bush administration, ready at a moment's notice to beat up on underlings.
Who doesn't want to see Old Yeller chasing the Syrian ambassador down the hall, throwing a stapler at his head and biting at his ankles?
Who doesn't want to see him foaming at the mouth - yes, it will be hard to tell - at the Cuban delegate over Castro's imaginary W.M.D.?
Who doesn't want to see him mau-mauing the Iranian mullahs?
Who doesn't want to see him once more misusing National Security Agency eavesdropping technology, this time to spy on Kofi and son?
Who doesn't want to see him outrage North Korea by calling Kim Jong Il a fat, maniacal munchkin?
Even if his suave statesmanship were not so perfectly suited to high-level diplomacy, Mr. Bolton should still get the job. A ruthless ogre who tried to fire intelligence analysts who disagreed with his attempts to stretch the truth on foreign weapons programs deserves to be rewarded as other Bush officials have been.
After all, he was in sync with the approach of Condi Rice, Paul Wolfowitz, Stephen Hadley and Bob Joseph - who were all up for big jobs after they torqued up intelligence to fit the White House's theological beliefs.

A ruthless ogre who tried to fire intelligence analysts who disagreed with his attempts to stretch the truth on foreign weapons programs deserves to be rewarded as other Bush officials have been. Old (!) Mo would fire anyone working for her that lied to her about trying to discredit her stated opinion. But, then again, she's an idiot lib, not a conservative.

Okay, Maureen, you may be a total ditz, but that was funny.
Cuba is so bad, who cares if we rattle their chain? Everyone wants to see that.
Who doesn't want to see him mau-mauing the Iranian mullahs?
Everyone wants to see that.
Who doesn't want to see him once more misusing National Security Agency eavesdropping technology, this time to spy on Kofi and son?
Having the NSA spy on foriegners who are up to no good? Everyone wants to see that.
Who doesn't want to see him outrage North Korea by calling Kim Jong Il a fat, maniacal munchkin?
Everyone wants to see that.
So, in conclusion, John Bolton is quite possibly the perfect candidate. Give the people what they want, Maureen. Give us John Bolton, and his wacky antics.

Hadn't seen that one Diogenesis, LOL! Does the 'unhinged' Dowd even realize that her rant is exactly what most Americans want out of a UN ambassador?

My take on all of the Dem's goings on centers around the fact that they are frightened and have their backs to the corner. This is apparent on the reactions they have and the transparency of their actions. There isn't any logic involved in how they are perceived. They act dumb, look dumb and are dumb. This includes just about everything from judicial nominations to the Bolton appointment. Maybe it's time for them to start praying. Amen.
