Atlas Shrugged's Pamela, heart skipping like a schoolgirl's, opened her John Bolton interview with possibly the greatest first sentence ever:
What I most admire about John Bolton is his steely demeanor and moral clarity.
Discussion question: What qualities do you most admire about John Bolton?
And believe me, you really need to read the whole thing. A sampling:
Atlas: As a tangential aside, does that stuff get to you?
JB: The criticism, you mean?
Atlas: Yeah, the intense unfair vilification ......... You don't want to know what they call me on the left side of the sphere I am your whatever because I am such a staunch supporter. After awhile, does it sting less? Were you born with a thick skin? The derision is incredible[...]
Atlas: Did you grow up in a Jewish neighborhood?
JB: No
Atlas: Did you know many Jews growing up?
JB: Nope
Atlas: It it seems to me you like Jews.
JB: Hysterical laughter
Atlas: Seriously folks
I'm just asking you because I find it's refreshing, and it's unique, and it's not the everyday so I mean, did you -- was your first love a Jewish girl? I'm just curious........ where'd it come from? C'mon John.
JB: Actually she was, but she wasn't religious.
Both laughing now. I am clapping .............
A proud day for the blogosphere.
