On the job: Bolton arrives at United Nations

[Contrary1]

"...The Bush administration says a tough-talking Bolton is ideally suited to lead an effort to overhaul the U.N. bureaucracy and make it more accountable. But Annan cautioned that negotiation and compromise are keys to success at the United Nations.

In 1994, Bolton said it wouldn’t make a “bit of difference” if the top 10 floors of the United Nations — which include the secretary-general’s office — vanished from the 39-story headquarters building.

In the same speech, he said there is 'no such thing as the United Nations,' just 'an international community that occasionally can be led by the only real power left in the world, and that is the United States.'"

4. Anyone taking bets on how long Bolton will last in the UN?

I bet the UN delegates will be keeping lots of notes and "evidence" of Bolton's pigheadedness to "leak" to the press.

How long before we see pictures of Bolton abusing a woman in the scandal sheets?

5. Did he beat anyone yet? Did he throw any office supplies around?

What a shame.
