OK I stand corrected. But I was still offended. LOL

[KC_Conspirator]

Don't you mean "Lambert Field"?

[OrioleFan]

Good! At least the UN will get a good dose of kick butt for the next year and a half.

[Paul Ross]

About time. Sigh.

Hope that Bolton didn't lose any spine after the liberal whipping-fest. We need his courage to tell it like it is to the United Nations.

Better headline:

Senate fails to fulfill its duty before leaving town

[Marysecretary]

He looks a little uncomfortable there, or is that just my imagination?

The first definition in my dictionary is "to Outwit"

Can't happen - Constitution requires ticket to be from different states. But Hillary is skilled at running in places where she wasn't a resident.

Not exactly. What the Constitution says is that if the President and VP candidates are from the same state, the electors from that state cannot vote for both of them. So in this case, the NY electors would have to vote for Hillary for Pres and someone other than Schumer for VP. This could cause a case where the President and VP were of different parties.

I think Bill Lan Lee is still there, recess appointment and all.

As a senior leader at the State Department in the 1980s and 1990s, he brought people together to achieve meaningful results at the United Nations — from resolving payment issues, to helping rally the coalition in the Persian Gulf War, to repealing a shameful resolution that equated Zionism with racism.

paydirt for the backers of Bush/Bolton

Good to see. The gun grabbers hate Bolton.

[Mi-kha-el]

Only a licensed moel can do it. WCS, Joe Lieberman.

"Whole lotta dissing goin' on of late"

T*t-for-tat, Me Hearties.

The Senate RATS 'N RINO's blubbered, whined, farted and shivered.

Heck, any Miss America pageant participants has LOTS more Testosterone than those Girlie-Men.

[fatnotlazy]

Beautiful!

Good job, Mr. President.

And thanks "Norm" for keeping us cubicle jockeys advised.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Bush Circumvents Senate,...

YES!!

[ExcursionGuy84]

"I have to say that Bolton has one heck of a cookie duster there."

May ALL liberals behold and tremble before It's Awesome Might!!

Sorta reminds me of "Teddy" Roosevelt--Another "Cowboy" President, NATCH!!

[F.J. Mitchell]

Thank you Mr. President, and may God's blessings be upon you.

[MEGoody]

Voinovich is deeply saddened. :::Sniff, sniff:::

[CyberAnt]

Clinton made ONE HUNDRED FORTY-ONE RECESS APPOINTMENTS (141).

Geeeeee! I don't recall Dodd or any democrat being upset about ANY of those appointments ..????

President Bush did not circumvent the senate, he circumvented the obstructionists. Big diff...
