About four months after John Bolton became Americas United Nations Ambassador, I watched him deliver a luncheon address to the Manhattan Institute.
I wonder if hell throw something at the help? I whispered to another guest.
I was joking, of course, but Boltons critics are not. They consider him as diplomatic as a catapult.
Hes been a very ineffective bully, Sen. Chris Dodd (D.-Conn.) said September 6. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D.-Calif.) recommended that Bolton seek anger management counseling. Other Bolton detractors recently decried his egotistical intolerance.
Bolton struck me as surprisingly soft-spoken on two occasions we briefly met. But even if he is a human Vesuvius on duty, he performs vital work and has earned praise from colleagues and admirers overseas. Thus, the Senate should re-confirm him for service beyond his soon-expiring recess appointment.
Rather than merely erupt at everyone around him, as his adversaries claim, Bolton brokers peace agreements, frustrates despots, fights genocide, and steers nuclear weapons from the twitchy fingers of tyrants.

Forget it. Bolton's history. This is a scalp the Defeatocrats want.
Well....the same can be said for Dodd, except you need to replace the "b" and double "l" in bully with a "p" and double "s".
That GW has re-nominated him says that he will push for him, if he backs down, then it will be a major loss.
Bolton is like fresh air, in a fetid toilet.
In brief, yes. Men of principle make the leftists wet themselves.
a 'Sorpano's' characterisation of the appropriate name you gave Dodds!
The senate will dump Mr. Bolton and replace him with a lackey who will not stand up to the U.N. for American interests.
Mr. Bush will fold like a cheap suit on this issue.
Is there any difference between the repubs and dems at this point?
Some call it "White Bristle Justice"
Someone who's samctimonious, pontificating and as worthless as "tits on a boar"....
Enter Lee Hamilton, god help us all.
Dolly Parton sleep on her back
Is a pigs butt pork
Does Michael Richards have white sheets in his closet (LOL)
SMM48 recommends that Sen Boxer seek anti-bitch counseling!
They can't replace Bolton with someone that the President does not nominate.
I know this Maria.
This isn't the President's call; it's the media's, they won the last election.
Maybe they should get some anger management for their new hero, Senator-to-be Webb.
Or worse, James Baker. Arab dictators will be thrilled.
When the Senate shoots down Bolton, I hope the Prez leaves the post vacant, then blame the rats for any problems that develop. Hey, I can dream can't I?

Personally, I'd like to see the UN dismantled, or at the very least booted out of this country. They can set up shop in Venezuela. I'm sure Chavez will welcome them.
Scratch another effective weapon that would save U.S. lives. The Dems "Death to America" tour rolls on....
