WASHINGTON (CNN) -- On the same day President Bush promised a new bipartisan Washington, he began efforts to get two of his most controversial decisions approved before the Democrats take over Congress.
Bush on Thursday submitted the nomination of John Bolton as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and said he would like to move forward on legislation to authorize the National Security Agency's domestic surveillance program.

Bump!
While Governor of Texas Bush had a great deal of success rounding up conservative/moderate Dems and putting them with Republicans to get some things done.
The Dems who want to claim that Bush's presidency is over don't know George Bush.
Bolton wasn't an issue in the elections.
I think conservatives are over stating this....how many real conservative Dims won? Webb is about all I can name.
They need to remove Chafee from the committee. That will free up the nomination. Or go to the floor without a recommendation.
"Well, we can credit him for doing one thing right today. Now we'll see if the condemned GOP majority will summon the balls to follow through. My money says they won't."
Agreed. Let's face it, the GOP Congress is more p*ssed at GWB than the Dims are.
Democrats bristle at Bush's push to confirm Bolton -- screw them!
Again with the logic. What's up with that? In the eyes of our new leaders, Bolton is one of them. Were it even remotely possible, you'd see every appointed official right down to the town dogcatcher deposed, simply because they were picked by Bush.
And they accomplished their goal, they got elected. They now stand arm-in-arm with those who will actively seek to confiscate our guns, force us to bankroll the UN, suck up to Islamic terrorists, look to the ACLU for legal advice, and well, booger things up. Hopefully, if there are any resonable dems in the group, they might want to raise their voices amongst the braying.

He could, but it would expire as soon as Congress reconvenes in early January.
I doubt most Dems know what "bristle" means. They're just for-sure dumb, which is why the idiot half of America always votes for them.
Bristle away a-holes. We're just getting started.
Now you're talking....we let's take on the rats!
Good point.
The UN is such a loser!
Bolton is great at laying down the smack on libs. There must be some other place that Bush could put him where he could annoy more in the quiche coalition.
I like Tony Snow, but I'd pay money to see Bolton appointed as Bush's new press secretary.
No Plan for Bolton Confirmation in Senate

He deserves a good smackdown from Bolton.
Perhaps the Dems will replace Bolton with one of the idiot twins Joe Biden or Ted Turner.
We should send Kucinich, bent over, to the UN with his pants down by his ankles.
bristle away
