Some of My Impressions On the Bolton Nomination*

The John Bolton nomination passes the Senate Foreign Relations Committee 10-8 without recommendation.

Some highlights:

Paul S. Sarbanes (D-Maryland) In his calm, measured way, Sarbanes pretty much said: "Bolton sucks as a manager."

Christopher J. Dodd (D-Connecticut) "Can't we just end it here in committee?"

John F. Kerry (D-Massachusetts) Bolton was "not candid" with the committee. Translation: "He lied".

Barbara Boxer (D-Califonia) "The Chimp in Charge must want a fight."

Barack Obama (D-Illinois) "North Korea became much more of a threat under Bolton's watch."

Bill Nelson (D-Florida) Short and to the point: "Bolton is a miserable failure as a manager."

Some lowlifes:

George Allen (R-Wingnut) "We must destroy the UN in order save it."

Mel Martinez (R-Sycophant) "Of course I support him. Dear Leader nominated him."
