The belated snub of the snarlers (LOL! Wesley Pruden Rocks!)

Washington Times ^ | August 2, 2005 | Wesley Pruden

John Bolton flew off to New York yesterday to take up his new job as the tough-guy ambassador nearly everybody agrees we need at the United Nations, and the geezers rocking on the front porch of the Senate Rest Home, waiting for the embalmer and stewing in the bitter juices of their own frustration, couldn't think of a single new thing to say.

[Mongeaux]

On Chrissy Matthews show today a Democratic strategist said the dems got what they wanted: they knew they could not keep Bolton out so they were able to WEAKEN him on the way to the UN.

Like, do we need a WEAK UN Ambassador? Does that help the USA or the Democrats?

[ThirstyMan]

The Democratic senators who successfully blocked the majority of senators who wanted to confirm him have no genuine objections. He was merely the designated target of partisan bile backed up in the digestive tract of the donkey.

Ha Ha!

"partisan bile in the donkey"

it is!

[LibertarianInExile]

Of course the Democrats want a weak U.S. ambassador. The UN is a haven for leftists and NY's little outpost of bureaucrat heaven. Bolton as a strong ambassador would have raised holy hell to try to change the corruption. An ambassador can't fix the UN--only a pony nuke could do that--but a politicized Bolton will essentially mean any public complaints he raises are now tarred by his being 'conservative,' and thus a party hack bent on ruining the-only-hope-for-global-peace-in-our-time.

NBC was worse: Critics [not "Democrats"] complain that the recess appointment was an end-run around the Senate [as opposed to the filibuster being an end run by Senate Dems around the constitution] and that Bolton was an "abusive manager" [ie. he barked at some incompetent suboridinate] and Bolton was "critical" of the UN [well duh, anyone with common sense knows we need to REFORM the UN].

The MSM can bite me. Hacks.

[glorgau]

From the article:
No American ambassador arrives at any appointment anywhere with a cloud hanging over his head; the representative of the president of the United States makes his own weather.

Gotta love this - a straight definition of real power.

[Fenris6]

If the Dems keep playing this filibuster BS, Bush should recess appoint Starr and Bork to SCOTUS.

[Hugin]

The Democrats didn't have the votes to deny the president his appointment, so they used a procedure available to willful minorities. The president used a procedure available to a president who won't any longer abide a spiteful challenge to presidential prerogative by a willful minority.

About sums it up.

[smoothsailing]

It's a great line! And true!

[John Lenin]

Chrissy the numbskull should keep telling himself Bolton is weakened. Matthews is a liberal I don't think I could be in the same room with for more than five minutes because I'd rip him to shreds in a battle of wits.

[RandallFlagg]

Read what you posted again:

a Democratic strategist said the dems got what they wanted: they knew they could not keep Bolton out so they were able to WEAKEN him on the way to the UN.

Liberal democrats are famous for implying their views and beliefs onto those who listen to try to make their listeners believe it as well.
They DIDN'T get what they wanted. Bolton's not weakened with this at all; I'd even call it a badge of honor to be hated by these types.
IOW, They failed.

[RandallFlagg]

You yell and argue with the TV, too?

;-)

[SkyPilot]

George W. Bush can enjoy this gong-show performance from afar, having made the appointment as if with the back of his hand, on his way out to Texas for the month of August to clear out brush, stomp on rattlesnakes and ponder the lack of water at Prairie Chapel Ranch.

Sheesh--can this man write prose.

[John Lenin]

I refuse to watch his show. Intellectually dishonest people get under my skin. The liberal talking points are so bankrupt of intelligent thought that it is a waste of time to even listen to them. It's like watching someone in a burning house refuse to get out of the chair as they are engulfed in flames.

Liberalism =Mental Illness

[No One Special]

Beautifully written - made me laugh. Love to get a lib's impression of it.

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

If the Dems keep playing this filibuster BS, Bush should recess appoint Starr and Bork to SCOTUS.

If he's going to expand the court to 11 seats and is looking at former SC clerks, he might as well go with Ingram and Coulter.

[Fenris6]

huh?

[RandallFlagg]

When the White House press conference occured Monday morning after President Bush told America that Bolton was to be recess appointed into the UN post, I watched it on CSPAN.

That was the first time I've watched anything near a news station in about a year.

[Howlin]

I think Pruden put into words all the vitrol we feel towards these scums of the earth.

If Wesley Pruden is on our side, how can we be wrong?

[smoothsailing]

I don't think it would be an overstatement to say that Wesley Pruden is an American treasure!
