UN Ambassador-nominee Susan Rice: I’m not going to ask John Bolton for advice.

Yesterday, President-elect Barack Obama formally named Susan Rice as his nominee to be U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. After the press conference, Rice spoke to The New Republic’s Dayo Olopade, telling her that she wanted “to call up former holders of the position for advice.” There was one former UN ambassador, however, who Rice said she didn’t want to speak to: John Bolton.

3. Not for advice, but she might gain some insight by meeting with him...

...before stepping into his shoes, it might be useful to get a little sense of his views, might help her to get us out of some of the shit that he surely gotten us into.

But meet with him for advice, absolutely not!

9. I wouldn't ask John Bolton to pee on me if I were on fire

Although I'm sure he would oblige.

10. Like a certain former boss of mine, Bolton provides a comprehensive counterexample ...

if you need to know what NOT to do, just watch and listen. He'll do it all.
