PBS reported that John Bolton would be confirmed tomorrow.

[spanone]

WTF is that??? I do believe they have to have a VOTE FIRST!!!!!!

[LSparkle]

1. and did they mention anything about State not giving up the records?

Didn't Biden threaten to postpone the vote unless Condoskeezza and co. cooperated?

[spanone]

6. Let's hope the Dems don't fold on this one too.

I don't trust the democrats much more than I do the rethugs. They just voted unanimously with the thugs to give 82 BILLION FUCKING DOLLARS to keep the illegal war going.

[fertilizeonarbusto]

2. Guess

they didn't hear Larry Flynt's little bombshell today...

[LSparkle]

12. Rove's on the phone now: "John, you're going to have to withdraw"

Even if he's confirmed, the story about his wild past isn't going away. It'll be embarrassing for the WH to have a guy at UN with that much baggage (potential blackmail?).

[Pathwalker]

3. Will the orgy be later, or right there on the Senate floor?

Why won't they televise their orgies? :sarcasm:

[caligirl]

4. larry flynt has some goods on bolton. ed schultz just announced

that Larry Flynt is saying Boltons first wife was forced to engage in group sex. Larry says Bolton use to hang out in some wild club in NY in the 70's and 80's.

I wish he had stuff like this on bush. But isn't just grand that Bolton might get confirmed in spite of a horrible record, except now tawdry sex capades he engaged in and forcing his wife to engage in group sex could derail this.

16. This sounds familiar...

"...tawdry sex capades he engaged in and forcing his wife to engage in group sex...:

That sounds an awful lot like a recent would-be Republican Senator from Illinois. :rofl:

[caligirl]

18. Only * really wants Bolton, even if he raped his wife * would not care.

[racaulk]

23. Exactly

After Ryan's scandal came out, the RNC dropped him like a hot potato. But it seems like Congressional Republicans are giving their unconditional support to Bolton only because he's the man that * wants. Why the double standard?

[ck4829]

5. Bolton's Confirmation = The birth of the Revolution

That's how it is for me, anyway.

[SoCalDem]

7. Stop 20 random people on the street and ask them

what they think about John Bolton.. I would bet money that at least 15 of them will ask if he's still making CDs or give you a "whaaaaah" look and have NO clue who he even is..

WE are tuned in, but most people are only thinking about how they can make a little money, or whether to go to Jack in the Box or mcDonalds:eyes:

[Batgirl]

21. polling random people on the street: results just in

[rinsd]

25. "For me nothing beats him singing when a man loves a woman" (nt)

[napi21]

8. Well, I'm still not convinced he will be, but if he is, I can't wait to

see how he embarrasses the administration in the face of the World! I realize Shrub likes to reward his buddies, but I would think he should be careful what their actions might do to him!

[Larkspur]

10. The problem is that Bolton will embarrass the US to the rest of the world

but Bush supporters will view Bolton's temper tantrums as the Bush Admin strong arming the U.N.. Remember Bush supporters hate the U.N. and anyone railing against it is a "patriotic" American in the view.

[Snivi Yllom]

9. Was it really a surprise?

Nothing shocks me anymore.

[kainah]

11. CONFIRMED tomorrow?

Are you saying that PBS is reporting that he will be voted out of the committee AND then the nomination will move to the floor TOMORROW for a vote? I can't believe that. So, if they really said he'd be CONFIRMED tomorrow, they are really showing their ignorance.

[spanone]

15. That's exactly what they said.

[WillowTree]

22. I've heard that, too.

From multiple sources. They want the post filled and they want it filled by him. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they had the floor vote tomorrow. At least, that's what they've got planned.

Anyone taking bets about whether or not Cheney will be presiding tomorrow, just in case?

[caligirl]

13. Anyone think he was involved with kids from Nebraska?

A comment from the raw story article said what I was asking myself.


"Group sex may be continuing with Bolton, Jeff Gannon, Rove, McClellan, Norquist, and the other Closet Queens with open access to the White House. Wanna bet that those group sex parties in the 80s did not include kids from Boy's Town, Nebraska?"

[mtnester]

14. Tee Hee, not if the Bolton Orgy Sex scandal gets any steam

not tomorrow, not anytime.

[caligirl]

17. I just spoke to Bidens FR staff person, she said the Flynt allegation

as well as a lot of other stuff they have on Bolton will be presented tomorrow 10AM Washington time cspan is covering it so check your listing for which cspan channel. I think its 2 but not sure. The Flynt allegations are getting lots of talk at the Senate right now. She said they were talking about it.

[napi21]

19. I trust Biden to stick to his guns, but what about Voinavitch?

Has anyone heard what his thoughts are recently?

[caligirl]

26. No but I did call his office a minute ago and expressed

concern about women and marriages in this country with bolton getting the nod despite is amoral conduct.

[deutsey]

20. PBS=Pure Bull Shit

Now that the right has it under its boot.

[Vinca]

24. Maybe a confirmation of Bolton would be a good thing in the long run.

If reports about his "unorthodox" sex life (i.e. forcing the little missus to have group sex, etc.)are legitimate, how's this going to play with the fundies? Isn't there a point where they stand back and say, "Whoa . . . this isn't what we voted for," and reconsider the voting booth lever? Just a thought. (P.S. I'm not a convert. Bolton is the worst possible candidate for the UN.)

[warrens]

27. They mean the committee vote

Then he has to come to the full Senate, where dems can publicly tear him apart and humiliate the rethugs. I think they dems knew about Flynt and decided to let it go to the floor where all the dirty linen will be aired publicly, not behind committee doors.

If I were the rethugs, I would delay the vote. But you know those sleazebags.
