With not much else to be upset about, Iraq’s constitution is going apace; Judge Roberts appears to be squeaky clean; the economy is humming; Karl Rove didn’t out ol’ what’s her name and Joe Wilson has again been exposed as the liar he is etc, Dems are in high dudgeon over President Bush’s recess appointment of John Bolton to the UN. During the presentation of Bolton at the White House Bush said, "This post is too important to leave vacant any longer, especially during a war and a vital debate about UN reform." He also said Bolton had his complete confidence.
Teddy, I once drowned a girl, Kennedy sobered up long enough to say, "Ahh, It's a ahh devious maneuver that ahh evades the constitutional requirement of ahh Senate consent and ahh only further darkens the cloud over ahh Mr. Bolton's credibility at the ahhh U.N," No, Ted it doesn’t evade the constitutional requirement for Senate consent. The Senate had the opportunity to offer its opinion but when it was clear that the president would get his man, 44 obstructionists decided Senate consent wasn’t necessary a majority of 60 was.
Chris Dodd of Connecticut said "That's not what you want to send up, a person who doesn't have the confidence of the Congress and so many people who've urged that he not be sent up to do that job." So you block a vote on Bolton then complain that he didn’t get a vote. Isn’t that like the Menendez brothers begging for mercy because they are orphans?
George, I’ll cry if I want to, Voinovich whined, "I am truly concerned that a recess appointment will only add to John Bolton's baggage and his lack of credibility with the United Nations." Well Georgie give him an up or down vote. Then go back to Ohio and cry after the Senate votes him in.
John, I was in Cambodia, Kerry tried a new lie, “[Bolton’s recess nomination] only diminishes John Bolton's validity and leverage to secure America's goals at the U.N. John Bolton has been rejected twice by the Senate to serve as our Ambassador to the United Nations.” Well, no, John Boy he has never been rejected. He has never gotten an up or down vote. So lie on dopey one. Tell us one more time about that beret you carry in your brief case Oh Gallant one.
I’m happy John Bolton is at the UN. I only hope he remains true to the reason he’s there – to clean out the rat’s nest. I hope his initial visit with Kofi Annan, when he presents his papers to the Secretary General, goes like this. He walks into Kofi’s office at the UN and says, “Kofi, I’m John Bolton – the President of the United States’ man to clean up this horrendous mess. You are corrupt. This organization is corrupt. The US is funding the lion’s share of this mess so we’re going to start running it. Now, get your stuff out of my office.”
