BEST UN AMBASSADOR EVER. You don't want to read me on the end of John Bolton's tenure as United Nations ambassador, you want to read Fast Leon. But I had to chuckle when I saw this line in today's AP write-up:
[White House spokeswoman Dana] Perino said that among Bolton's accomplishments, he assembled coalitions addressing North Korea's nuclear activity, Iran's uranium enrichment and reprocessing work and the horrific violence in Darfur.Yeah, how's all that going? Everything copastetic? Moving in our direction?There's also the great Perino quote, "Despite the support of a strong bipartisan majority of senators, Ambassador Bolton's confirmation was blocked by a Democratic filibuster. . ." Now, you would think that the second clause would have made her rethink the first, but if rethinking were a White House specialty, Bolton would never have been nominated in the first place.
