Poll question: Predict the time and content of the first Bolton UN embarrassment
ala the old scorpion adage.... with the punch line... one can't change one's nature. It is inevitable - the guy is a ticking time bomb. A self-righteous bully who "knows" that he is always right. A combative, arrogant nut case who sees no boundaries that exist to restrain his behavior. An amoral man who doesn't understand the terms "integrity", let alone "national security."

So how soon will the first embarrassment of Bolton live from the UN unhinged take to occur and what will the nature of the episode be?

The only interesting thing about it will be that it will be fully covered (the media is watching him, in a way it has never watched him before) - and his behavior will likely be egregious - and watching the rwmedia echo chamber, for whom party over nation is tantamount, spin a justification for whatever it is he does will be, if nothing else, entertaining. And with any luck it will be ludicrous enough to turn more moderate votes away from the Arrogant GOP that blindly support anything the administration does.

3. Remember Condi's promise?
To the senate she said that she would keep a tight rein on him and yank him back if he went too far...

Ya, right.

4. Other = yesterday
The fact that swine is supposed to represent this great country is bad enough to qualify as a national humiliation.

8. Remember when TV News had stories from inside the U.N. every night?
What happened?

Why don't we get something like C-SPAN for the United Nations?

U-SPAN?
