How about, "Bush Circumcises Senate."

With Chuck Schumer, where would they know where to stop?

It sure illustrates how cheap, petty and low the dems have become. I love it when they Bring It On! lol

Great stuff!! WooHooo!!! :)

Bush Circumvents Senate, Appoints Bolton

Excellent.

Message to Democrats...Bite me!

You are exactly right. That, plus the fact that Lee is and always has been a state socialist down to his fingertips, is what made that particular recess appointment so offensive.

[goldstategop]

A majority of the Senate stood ready to confirm John Bolton. The Democrats preferred to play politics with our national security. It was extraordinary of them to deny a vital post to a man in whom the President had confidence. Fortunately President Bush had patience and outsmarted the Democrats. In the end, their dog and pony show did them no good whatsoever.

The Comcast homepage announces that Bush has appointed "controversial" nominee, John Bolton. I don't recall Bill Lann Lee being called "controversial" when Clinton recess appointed him.

Wow! What a news day today!

Bolton, a king is dead, Novak.....

And all this is just what I woke up to in the morning.

All this news and analysis in one place, over coffee.

I love FR!

"Democrats and some Republicans had raised questions about Bolton's fitness for the job, particularly in view of his harsh criticism of the United Nations."

Would these be the same political hacks that criticize everything done by the White House and have to solution to the issue? Now, when W nominates a man who not only is critical but is proactive in the solution of the problems, they find him too harsh to serve?

Isn't Bolton's attitude toward action what made America a world power?

What a bunch of un-American cowards (and jealous of Bolton, too).

It is about time!! The MSM is big on reporting that President BUsh really doesn't want the UN to succeed. We can bet our bottom dollar on the fact that if the President wanted the UN to fail, he certainly would not have appointed Ambassador Bolton. This is the man to kick butt and take names....and I hope he starts today.

Oh puh_leez, the Dems care about national security, afterall look at what a big deal they make trying to protect Valerie Plume who was vital to our national security. I really don't know how we are gonna to survive without undercover super-secret double agent Valerie to keep us safe.

I hear ya! I saw the Novak item as well...and its not even noon on the east coast yet. :)

The blip on the radio about the recess Bolton appt forthcoming popped me right out of bed too. :)

....even though the Senate had voted twice to sustain a filibuster against his nominee

Uh, when does the Senate decide to vote to sustain a filibuster??

"Democrats will go ballistic...."
