More Icing On The Cake: Bye-bye John Bolton.

[cali]

This is tasty. There's no way Bolton will win confirmation now. And Joe Biden said words to that effect yesterday. It's been shameful having that troglodyte representing the US at the UN. He's toast. bush won't dare to try to extend his interim appointment.

1. So long, Yosemite Sam!!!

See ya in Siam!!!

[acmejack]

2. Another humiliation lifted from us!

This man was a slap in the face to rational Americans who did believe in diplomacy and dared hope for a brighter tomorrow based on the Nations of the World coming together & working for peace. I will be smiling a little broader today (if that is possible).

[Bucky]

3. I'd kinda like to see Bush try, however. Just so Reid can put 'em in the dirt.

I have tasted Republican blood. I hunger for more.

[malaise]

4. Bolton is out for sure

Who will Bush nominate?

[Vinca]

5. This hadn't even crossed my mind. Great news! nt

[mom cat]

23. Me either! ... 90,000 minds are better than one!

:bounce:

[Imagevision]

6. Me thinks that the Bush GOP group will remain quite silent, including Geroge!!

[radfringe]

7. don't forget about the judges that still need confirmation....

[The Backlash Cometh]

8. This is like a Jewish Christmas!

We're getting a different prezzie every day! Six more days, six more surprises!

[HereSince1628]

9. Uncle Jim is likely to shit can ALL the Neocons as the BEFEE steps in.

If it wasn't for him I would expect that Bolton would get assigned Deputy UN Ambassador (which doesn't require Senate approval) and the Ambassador position would just be left vacant.

Do we think Condi is actually going to survive the house cleaning? It will be interesting. I think Colin Powell was considered a member in good standing of the BEFEE.

16. Yepper! You got it ...

Don't know if that's a good thing, or a bad thing, though.

Who's worse, the Nixon-Watergate arm of the GOP (Cheney/Rummy) or the Iran-Contra arm of the GOP (Poppy/Baker/Gates, etc) ?


:scared:

[PA Democrat]

10. I forgot about Bolton. That's just another thing to celebrate!

Bye, bye, Bolton!

[MiniMe]

11. Can Bush do another recess appointment of him?

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

18. Yes, but Bolton would have to work without pay

nm

[MiniMe]

30. hmmm, I'm sure they would find a way to pay him off

Just to keep him there.

[SaveElmer]

12. Plus there are plenty of defeated GOP Senators he can nominate...

:evilgrin:

[niallmac]

13. Holy Mackeral I forgot! Oh yipee!!!

:bounce: :toast:

[watercolors]

14. And the " gifts keep comming"!

[Renew Deal]

15. No more white mustache rides at the UN.

Thanks for the reminder. :woohoo:

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

17. Bolton wasn't going to be confirmed with a pug senate

He's a recess appointment and Bush had every intention of appointing him as a recess appointment again.

If Bush wants bipartisanship, he'll can Bolton and appoint a UN ambassador who actually likes the UN.

Otherwise, it's just bipartisanshit.

[spanone]

19. I was thinking of this yesterday. Fucking Great News.

Get that warring bastard out of our lives...he's bad news.

[marmar]

20. Oh yes! ....

Do you think they'll let me drag him out of the UN by his silly-ass moustache?

[KharmaTrain]

21. Rule By Executive Order

Yes, it'll be good to see Capt. Kangeroo on Crack sent packing, but I suspect another PNACer will be recess appointed over xmas before the Democrats take control.

One of the blogs reported that this regime may just bypass the Legislative through secret executive orders...booosh hasn't hestitated in using them with a rubber stamp Congress, ya think he's gonna think twice now? If anything, he needs to...to keep bodies buried for the next two years.

[kwassa]

22. there are many unexpected gifts from this victory!

[Arugula Latte]

24. Good news! Wilfred Brimley must be about ready for retirement, John.

You're a shoe-in to replace him! You can pitch oatmeal and talk to people about their die-uh-bee-tus. :bounce:

[Little Wing]

25. I wouldn't make a habit of predicting what Bush won't dare to do

Especially with Bolton.

[youthere]

26. I'll just expand on what I said before...

It's like a christmas present, wrapped in birthday cake, topped with a winning lottery ticket...all while having an orgasm.

[kskiska]

27. Newsmax (cough) is reporting that Dem. George Mitchell might replace him

They're saying he's on the short list.

[cali]

29. I don't believe it for a minute

bushboy would never name someone so competent.

[savemefromdumbya]

28. another one bites the dust
