LOL.

George Mitchell will never be nominated for U.N. ambassador under this administration.

Mitchell was under serious consideration for commissioner of Major League Baseball back in 1992, and would have been approved by a wide margin in a vote of the team owners at the time if he had been nominated. However, he first had to receive unanimous support from a five-man selection committee among the owners, and he only got four of the five votes he would have needed for his nomination to be passed on to a vote among the entire league.

Mitchell was apparently such a royal pain in the @ss to President George H.W. Bush that the owner of the Texas Rangers back then -- a fella by the name of George W. Bush -- quashed his nomination by casting the lone vote against him.

The George Mitchell that was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Bill Clinton? Bill Clinton ? The most anti-American president in American history?

This had better be a Drudge screw up.

Great, just great...George Mitchell is not only a Democrat with less than stellar national security credentials, but he's decidedly unfriendly to our only true friend in the Mideast, Israel. The only realistic choice that would've been worse was to name James Baker.

Good job, George - keep sending our enemies the message that we're weak and easily cowed. Just make sure that you stock up on food, buses, tents and radiation meters, because we're going to need them all.

Until Conservatives grow a spine and start playing hardball with the socialists/liberals/Democrats, then they will continue to lose.

The liberals and the media have a death-grip on this country and are dragging it down. We've got to FIGHT and FIGHT TO WIN for what we believe in.

Some Dem staffer has fed this to Drudge knowing it will get all those outraged conservatives mad at Pres. Bush again.

Works every time.

I'd love to see it happen only to have the Republicans filibuster and smear George Mitchell to high heaven with the Democrats whining about all the things that didn't bother them a whit while they were filibustering Republicans.

Of course, our spineless cowardly Senators would never do that.

If this is true...then Bush should just hand over the Presidency to the Dems right now. Maybe the tabloids are right, maybe he is drinking again. At least I could understand all of this in that case.

George Mitchell is said to be on every short list for everything.

I refuse to take this seriously.

Your so "PR stupid".

Just because The President has accepted Bolton's resignation gives you no right to post speculation of his replacement for discussion here on FR.

You posted this as a Bush-Bash. Go back to DU!

"Short Lists" have one purpose - to find out who's leaking.

From slightly old Ollie North article

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,230099,00.html

"Though Mr. Bolton says he still hopes for "a straight up or down vote on the Senate floor," lame duck Republicans on Capitol Hill have been acting like crippled chickens. When GOP "leaders" failed to rally to Bolton's cause, triumphal Democrats began floating the names of potential replacements. Among those deemed "acceptable" as U.N. emissaries were former Rep. Jim Leach of Iowa and former Democrat Sen. George Mitchell — both ardent supporters of the international body's globalist agenda."

US pushed closer to talks with Syria and Iran

"GEORGE MITCHELL: I think there will be, inevitably, some degree of draw down of American forces over the next year. That's inevitable.

The President's policy has clearly failed, the American people have repudiated it. So, for just those two reasons there's going to be a change and I think that's the minimum change that will be required."
