Why John Bolton must not become UN Ambassador!
There is no question that this administration does something everyday that just boggles the mind....I have sent many emails over the last few years to friends and family referring to the latest outrageous action or appointment of this Neo-con Cabal running our country. One of the creepiest and most outrageous actions lately has been Bush’s appointment of John Bolton to become the US Ambassador to the United Nations. I’ve read several editorials but perhaps the most eloquent person to describe his qualifications for this role is John Bolton himself. Please take the time to watch Mr. John Bolton in the below 2 minute video and decide for yourself what you think. If you are left with a similar impression as I am, I suggest that you pass this link and the video on it to every friend you know and everyone contact your Senators immediately and the press that this man should absolutely not be confirmed as the UN Ambassador.

On April 7th (two days from now), the Senate will be considering this man’s appointment. If anyone here thinks that the United State’s standing in the world of diplomacy is already on shaky enough grounds, imagine this person as being the one representing us in the United Nations.

:scared: :nuke: :scared: :nuke:

4. OMG! That image is so scary! Especially with Cheney & Jesse behind him!
:hi: Swamp Rodent! Where ya been? It's been awfully boring on the DU board without your photoshopped pix for us to liven things up lately!

Did you watch that video? Un-effing believable....Appointing this guy to be the US Ambassador to the United Nations is equivalent to having a Wife Beater become the Director of a Battered Women's Shelter....

This man seriously is scary....I hope every one on the DU sends this link to everyone they know and people start calling their Senator's....I actually think he is more dangerous than Condi or Rumsfeld....

5. I finished this pic today:
Bolton is one, dangerous lizard... more like a child molester in charge of a daycare center.

6. He may be the most bonkers man in government
Edited on Mon Apr-04-05 11:27 PM by chookie
And mind you -- that's against some pretty tough competition. He's world class bonkers, Caligula-level bonkers.

Some of the stuff he has said might have earned him 90 days of observation in a mental hospital, had he uttered them in a context outside the Heritage Foundation.

He's SO unambiguously fucking nuts the Dems -- AND sane Republicans -- will fight this.

I wonder some times if Bush and Karl sit around getting shitfaced, and decide to play pranks like, "Let's nominate John Bolton and see what happens!"

When have you ever seen a paranoid ranting performance like that shown in this video, outside of bars or mental hospitals? Not even Zell Miller comes close. I think even Kim Il Jong is more in control of himself. You'd have to look at Hitler's speeches to see this kind of ill-contained manic fury, and I do not say that lightly.

12. I fear you are right...I do believe this man is seriously the craziest one
(that we know of) in the Neo-con cabal running our government right now...Caligula bonkers is an understatement....

Maybe Bush and Rove do sit there getting drunk and deciding to see how far they can go and how much opposition is really out there....even more frightening of a thought, is that I sometimes think that what they do is send out someone we will all think is the craziest and oppose them, only to turn around knowing full well that someone like Bolton won't make it and then put in place the really dangerous and more "stealth" psychopath....

Either way....this guy must be opposed and not become the UN Ambassador...otherwise, Jeebus save us, because the world will be screwed.... :scared:

10. Does Keith or anybody in the MSM have this video?
Edited on Mon Apr-04-05 11:43 PM by Spiffarino
There's a lot of buzz about this nomination. If we can help bring more heat to it, Dems might grow a spine and try to stop this batshit crazy neocon before he makes a mess.

Edit: Nominated for greatest - the video is excellent ammo to use against this clown.

11. I don't know if the MSM (or rather "honest" journalists) have this video
or not....but I agree, this needs to be seen by many people....Everyone can read the editorials and articles opposing this guy, but this 2 minute video says it all....and by none other than John Bolton himself on why he isn't qualified....

I do think that he is seriously the craziest of the crazy neo-cons...I don't know how Bush could have seriously nominated this guy for the position unless he's either telling the world to go f*ck itself or he is testing how far he can go unopposed....Maybe both....But one thing is clear - if this guy John Bolton does become UN Ambassador, our already pathetic standing in the World Family will become at about the worst standing we have ever had as a nation. There is not a diplomatic bone in this nut cases body....I think that the only thing this man would be capable of doing successfully is dismantling any and all diplomatic and good-will efforts this nation has ever built.....Any and all treaties will be most likely destroyed by this psycho and people would be walking out of the UN on him...His job is clear - go dismantle and destroy the UN....

If the Senate confirms this man, Bush will know that he has what he wants...ultimate power to do what he wants...and he will....

14. CARTOON: Bolton as a suicide bomber sent to the UN. Perfect.
Edited on Tue Apr-05-05 12:35 AM by Nothing Without Hope
The Administration wants to destroy the UN and in Bolton they have chosen a weapon for this. Meanwhile, the news is all on the pope, Mrs. Schiavo, or the celebrity scandal du jour.

19. I agree...
Even if he does not represent you he will be viewed as representative of the US by the world.

First Wolfowitz and now Bolton...
