As long as it's not that no-talent assclown, Michael Bolton.

Yeah, but wasn't he dating Ashley Judd for a while? Hubba Hubba!

Bush to nominate UN critic Bolton as envoy

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush has decided to nominate John Bolton, a long-time critic of the United Nations, to be the new U.S. ambassador to the world body, senior State Department officials say.

Bolton, who has been a leading hawk against Iran and North Korea as the State Department's point man on arms control policies, has often complained about U.N. bodies for not taking strong enough action against such nations.

"The president and Secretary (of State Condoleezza) Rice have chosen Mr. Bolton because he knows how to get things done. He is a tough-minded diplomat," an official said.

Bolton's nomination must be confirmed by the Senate. He would take up the U.N. post that was left vacant when
former Senator John Danforth resigned in December.

"John Bolton is personally committed to the future success of the U.N. and he will be a strong voice for reform," the
official said.

Bolton, 56, has a reputation for speaking bluntly -- a style that at times has caused friction with allies' diplomats.

The veteran official, who is admired by American conservatives, often clashed with former Secretary of State Colin Powell as he resisted his boss' efforts to negotiate with North Korea over its suspected nuclear weapons
development, according to U.S. officials.

Thanks for the great link. I watched Officer Joe every day as a kid, often with my dad who was also a Stooges fan. One of my fondest memories.

Strangely enough, I was just thinking about him yesterday. Wierd how life works.

I did too and it was my favorite show at the time. I think it was on around 5:00, if I recall, because my dad would get in from work at 6:15 and the show was over by then.

Oh, if only it were Michael Bolton.

You mean the programmer at Innotek that dated Jennifer Anniston?
