Yeah, the jerk conveniently skipped out of this meeting until the bitter end.

[Howlin]

Be sure to watch WHO sets up the "rules" for the new investigations!

Here's Biden with MORE ugly smears, even admitting "I don't know if they are true."

[Dad yer funny]

I'm sooo cranked I can't even spell phantom

[BigSkyFreeper]

I actually felt sick to my stomach when Voinovich got kiss-ass with the UN in his little statement to the committee meeting.

Biden Claims Bolton Staring at Him During Hearing by Scott Ott

(2005-04-19) -- Sen. Joseph Biden, D-DE, today asked the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to prevent President Bush's nominee for U.N. Ambassador, John Bolton, from staring at him during confirmation hearings.

"Mr. Chairman, he's looking at me again," said Sen. Biden. "Make him stop looking at me."

Indeed, a review of the video indicates that Mr. Bolton had directed a scowling gaze at several Senators during the hearings.

An aide to Sen. Biden said Mr. Bolton is trying to intimidate the Delaware Democrat into approving his nomination and has privately "threatened to have Biden unelected."

"The Senator feels bullied," said the unnamed aide. "Imagine how terrified Kofi Annan would be if we sent Bolton to the U.N."

They must have wised up, I just called and got the voicemail. Still left a nice sarcastic one though.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Every single Democrat is saying "I dunno if these charges are true".

[Dad yer funny]

wow , truth be told , I haven't felt this bad sice Sept 11th , and I live here in NYC , not even this past election got me sooooo torqued

[Pukin Dog]

You do realize, that without Bolton's confirmation, our presence in the U.N. is being primarily represented by one Bill Clinton?

[SoVaDPJ]

Tell me you're kidding?

"Mom, John's looking at me! Make him stop looking at me!"
"I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you."
"MOM!!! Make him QUIT!"

Luger: Don't make me pull this car over. I'm going to pull over right now if you two don't stop it!

[meema]

Well said, EV. And that's why none of these perfumed princes will ever sit in the Oval Office.

I always wondered why it is that every morning when they shave they see a President! As a group, they continue to fool themselves.
Disgusting. The whole lot of them.

[Howlin]

It's from Scrappleface, but tell the truth: you COULD have believed it, right? :-)

[Howlin]

He does NOT work for us at the UN. Period.

[PubliusEXMachina]

Voinovich's voice mailbox is full at his Senate office. We need other numbers to call.

[EternalVigilance]

Yep.

[CitizenM]

Ok...I am getting the picture now. (as hazy as the Dems are trying to make things) There still is nothing serious. It is all a smoke screen. They are saying it is serious, but are just stalling for time hoping they can dig and find something else to throw out that will suit their agenda.

I cannot understand why - if Senators do not attend important meetings, such as Voinovich did - why they should be able to vote at all. That right should be removed from them.

[SoVaDPJ]

Look, dammit, I sat through most of this hearing...uh, business meeting, and you pull this on me and expect me not to swallow it???

[daybreakcoming]

***Every single Democrat is saying "I dunno if these charges are true".***

Put them under oath and ask them if the charges are true. Oh - but they're demos aren't they? They'll still claim the same.

[Howlin]

They are saying it is serious, but are just stalling for time hoping they can dig and find something else to throw out that will suit their agenda.

Precisely!

[Pukin Dog]

I didn't say that.

But the fact remains that right now, officially or unofficially, the only person talking to Kofi-the-thief from our side is Clinton.
