WASHINGTON (CNN) -- On the eve of a crucial Senate committee vote, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice underscored her support for John R. Bolton as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, saying she urged President Bush to nominate him.



"John Bolton is eminently qualified for this job. And I'm the one who talked to the president about having John do this," Rice said on CNN's "Larry King Live," which was pre-taped for airing Wednesday night.



"When we were looking for a U.N. ambassador, I thought that John, with whom I'd had a lot of experience in his diplomacy over the last four years, would be a strong voice at the U.N.," she said.



"Yes, he's been critical of the United Nations from time to time," Rice said. "But in some ways that is a great benefit because -- at a time when the U.N. is undergoing a considerable discussion about reform, looking at what needs to be done -- it's a good thing to have somebody who's thought both about the good and the bad at the U.N. I can tell you that there are a lot of people who worked for John Bolton who are inspired by him and who are intensely loyal to him," she said. "John is hard-charging; there is no doubt about that. But he has been very successful in managing people."

1. WHAT a load of pure, unadulturated HORSESHIT

Bolton served his purpose for the WH by SPYING on Powell. Now that Condi is in the job, she wants the traitorous little fucker OUT OF THERE. How far does she trust him? About as far as she can throw him.

It's what happens to people who do the dirty work--everyone likes their septic tank pumped, but no one wants to hang around with the shitsmelling guy who does the pumping....

2. What a truckload of bullshit.....

after Bolton charged into Florida to stop the 2001 recount, Dick Cheney expressed the Administrations appreciation by telling him that he could have anything he wanted. When Bolton's first demand was quietly turned down (anal sex with Barbara Bush) his second choice was the ambassador position to the UN.

(okay, I made up the part about Bar)
