Some opponents were softening, but the controversial U.N. ambassador's resignation is yet another sign of the changed political landscape after Nov. 7

The resignation of John Bolton as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations marks another acknowledgement by the White House of the political consequences of the Nov. 7 Congressional elections.

....

Chafee, who was defeated for reelection, issued a statement reiterating his opposition. " Mr. Bolton did not demonstrate the kind of collaborative approach that I believe will be called for if we are to restore the United States ' position as the strongest country in a peaceful world," he said. "This would be an appropriate time to choose a nominee who has a proven ability to work with both sides of the political aisle, a history of building strong international relationships and a reputation of respect for the institution of the United Nations. The names Brent Scowcroft and George Mitchell come to mind immediately as outstanding candidates. " There's no word from White House yet on whom it might nominate as Bolton's replacement.

" Didnt Monica Lewinski apply for a job at the UN?....we havent seen her lately "

Vernon Jordan brought her along with him to the Iraq Study Group so she could lend a helping hand.
And give Chuck Robb a massage.

[Nasty McPhilthy]

He's like a fly. All he does is eat $h!t and bother people.

Question; Who would be better than ANY democrat or RINO choice?..

Answer; Carrotop or even Richard Simmons in a Turkey suit..

There is literally no way that the U.N. could possibly be disrespected enough..

[Howlin]

That, my friend, is THE best laugh I've had in weeks........just the perfect description!

[Lancey Howard]

Carrotop has too much dignity for the UN.

[zarf]

George Mitchell. lol.

Chafee is certainly creative.

[pabianice]

Chafee should be caned in public a la Singapore.

[hosepipe]

[ Carrotop has too much dignity for the UN. ]

Ouch!..

[SCHROLL]

because he hasn't any to lick.

[6SJ7]

Nominate Jack Bauer.

"I'm gonna need a hacksaw."

[Dahoser]

Tell that to John Tower.

[prairiebreeze]

Lincoln Chaffee can kiss my grits. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

[marajade]

There was a 20 year gap in re: to Mr. Tower.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

I wonder if old Linc will go back to being a farrier in January?

[Marysecretary]

Yeah, Bolton's no butt kisser. That's why they hate him so. I've gotten rather fond of him and I think it's a dirty shame he's been treated this way by RINO's and liberals. Fooey on them.

[libill]

Unfortunately if his revolting buddies in the RNC, that spent tons of cash in Chafee's failed reelection bid, have their way Mitchell or somebody like him may get nominated. The question is did Dubya get infected like the rest of the Washington insiders?

[Nancee]

I just pray that Bill Clinton is not somehow the individual who finds his way to this position. He has made every an effort to be right smack in the middle of world power.

Dear Mr. Chafee,

Sorry to hear that you have butt cancer, Not.

"The resignation of John Bolton as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations marks another acknowledgement by the White House of the political consequences of the Nov. 7 Congressional elections."

You may not want to hear it

BUT IT IS

[uncbob]

The Left controls the MSM and the MSM controls the Mindless Middle.

And that is who put the DEMs in

Not the GOP Base
