McCain Wants Bolton Confirmed Quickly

[Bumblebee]

He does not get it, does he? Or is just paying the master for a timid revolt on torture. Bolton is one of the main reasons why a) Chavez said what he said and b) (even more to the point) the audience at the UN responded as enthusiastically as they did!

McCain Wants Bolton Confirmed Quickly
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Filed at 12:36 p.m. ET

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sen. John McCain on Sunday urged quick confirmation for John Bolton as U.N. ambassador, saying the nominee is needed to talk back to ''two-bit dictators'' such as Venezuela's president.

McCain, R-Ariz., joined lawmakers from both parties in condemning Hugo Chavez's speech last week at the United Nations in which the Venezuelan called President Bush ''the devil.''

''I would say that this is an argument to get John Bolton confirmed as our U.N. ambassador,'' McCain said on CBS' ''Face the Nation.'' ''He's smart, he's tough, he will respond to these guys. And he could talk back to these two-bit dictators who have the airfare to New York.''

1. He's a FAKE!

[judaspriestess]

4. He's a liberal republican and has stockholm syndrome

as per his fellow repukes out there. He is clueless, a sellout and is so desperate for the nomination for president. He has sold his soul to the "devil"

[Captain Hilts]

5. He ALWAYS comes back to the reservation....nt

[uppityperson]

2. To hell with "fast" "quick", all that crap. How about "right"?

How about counting all the votes, assessing all the intellegence, doing the job well, checking out someone fully, considering everything? What is it with the Need for Speed?

[ShortnFiery]

3. No, you of all people who has NOW sold-out his country after behaving

so brave during Vietnam, should NOT get a say in this confirmation.

IMO ---> STFU John McCain!

6. not smart, tough on secretaries...a bully who picks on the powerless

[Solly Mack]

7. Fuck what McCain wants. He's garbage..nothing but

[dkofos]

8. He's more likely to blow dictators for two bits

[globalvillage]

9. Isn't it true that Bolton didn't even attend Chavez's speech?

I thought I remember hearing he didn't have the guts to show. Did he make some bold statement in response?
I have no comment one way or the other regarding what Chavez said, but did Bolton utter some memorable and fiery statement that was somehow missed by the media? Did he say or do something to draw other countries to bush*'s defense?
Or is he waiting for confirmation?

McCain is a blowhard. He says shit like this and has nothing to back it up. It amazes me that anyone still listens to him.

11. True, he did not. A low-level aide was the only one there.

10. Once you kiss the Devil you have no credibility.

McCain is tinkling brass signifying nothing.

12. Breaking News: I want McCain in Gitmo or Abu Ghrayb quickly

Let him experience the loveliness that he so desperately wants for others.

13. McCain is an authoritarian ass, constantly seeking someone to command

... him and incapable of autonomous, value-centered action. Raised by an autocratic father, schooled at Annapolis, career military, survived by obeying his captors in North Viet Nam, he's sycophantic at the nucleus of his cells. He takes abuse like he seeks it. He's addicted to it - masochistic ass.

14. McCain is a fucking ASS HOLE!!

No other way to put it.

[joanski0]

15. I totally agree. And McCain can kiss my

butt as well.

Bolton is the reason there is no follow-through, especially help for Darfor. Then they blame the UN for nothing getting done. As someone said on one of the talk shows this morning "The UN is just a building". The countries have to do it.

16. When did Chavez ...

... become a "two-bit dicatator?"

News to me.

[Disturbed]

17. 'two-bit dictators''

Musharef is a General that overthrew a democraticaly elected Pres. of Pakistan. He is never called a dictator by the RWing in the US but that is exactly what he is.
