Finally, we are showing the obstructionist socialists that they did not win the election (two of them!). Oh how the cry babies are going to whine and MSM will be fawning all over them, rushing to print all the whining...

Choke on it Dems.

wouldn't want to say that he exercised a frequently used option, now would we? lol

I like the title to,, instead of using

President Circumvents Senate, Appoints Bolton ...

They opt to make it vey personal. :)

[Fierce Allegiance]

Good!

Bush adhered to the practice started under Reagan, to give advance notice of his intentions -- so that Congress could take action, by voting down his nominee. Bush gave his notice; Congress did not act; Bush made the recess appointment.

It's not that Bush is so brilliant. The minority is having trouble accepting reality. They want to believe they still are in charge.

One more lesson. Oh, the learning curve!

Bush Circumvents Senate, Appoints Bolton

This after a year of the Senate circumventing Bush on the appointment....

[Founding Father]

How about, "Bush Circumcises Senate."

[NormsRevenge]

Whole lotta dissing goin' on of late.


'Bout time , seems like the President and a couple senatros and reps are about the only ones with nads in DC these days.. except for certain NY senators.

Lovin' it! Great clips for the next few elections.

Someone needs to tell the Republicans that.

President Bush, center, stands with John Bolton, left and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as he announces Bolton's installation as United States ambassador to the United Nations Monday, Aug. 1, 2005 in Washington, D.C. Frustrated by Democrats, Bush sidestepped the Senate and installed Bolton as ambassador to the United Nations. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)

As far as the leftist claim that Bush is dumb...

[KC_Conspirator]

Bush had refused to give up on Bolton even though the Senate had voted twice to sustain a filibuster against his nominee.

Uh no, a select few on a committee held up the nomination. He never came before a senate vote, in which he would have passed.

The media is lying again.

[KC_Conspirator]

Yes, I can bet you when Klinton appointed the likes of Bill Lan Lee, the media said it was alright.

[grobdriver]

YAHOOOOOO!!!!!!
I'll take "D", please.
And TAKE THAT, Democrats - I pi$$ on you from considerable height.

Actually, I prefer:

Senate circumvents Constitution, uses filibuster to make sure votes don't count when the Republicans will win.

That would be sweet, but the Clintons aren't that dumb.
They may be many things, but they aren't stupid.

I believe that they will pick someone who can help them carry a state in the SW.
