Chris Dodd (and his nasty little Castro loving staff)and Joe Biden will be holding a candlelight vigil for the holy UN.

Hate to tell you, but Bolton would have nothing to do with this. It is a good start and I would like to see more arrests. Believe me, there will never be any convictions.

Any pictures of the offender doing the perp walk before the press

Not exactly the frog march that Joe Wilson had in mind.

That's why the UN and the leftist dimorats fought so hard to keep Bolton out.

They aren't obligated to pay parking tickets. And they couldn't be charged when they looted the cafeteria during a union strike -- they ate all of the food, drank all of the liquor and even stole the silverware.

John Kerry is deeply saddened.

And so is Tom Daschle.

I think his presence there is similar to the situation with the hostages in Tehran -- once Reagan assumed office, they were released.

Which ex-official?

Two were named in the recent report.

I could guess that it's Benon Sevan, since he
resigned, making him an ex.

Another report on Fox News said
"Benon Sevan, the one-time head of the Oil-for-Food program who severed his ties with the United Nations on Sunday, should lose his diplomatic immunity so he can be prosecuted for alleged crimes, Paul Volcker said Monday."

Presumably, this has occurred.

Does this still work if one gets fired? (vs. resigning)

Or more likely this official was sacrificed because Bolton is now on board. Throwing out a pretty high official to protect the very high one. Friendship only goes so far. But Bolton is probably the catalyst, as you say.

I would say you're right. They'll pi$$ themselves before they challenge a strong person...Bolton is strong.
