Steyn: Nuts and Bolton
No comments from me - they'd pale next to Steyn'sIf you're going to play the oldest established permanent floating transnational crap game for laughs, you might as well pick an act with plenty of material. What I love about John Bolton, America's new ambassador to the UN, is the sheer volume of 'damaging' material. Usually, the Democrats and media have to riffle through decades of dreary platitudes to come up with one potentially exploitable infelicitous soundbite. But with Bolton the damaging quotes are hanging off the trees and dropping straight into your bucket. Five minutes' casual mooching through the back catalogue and your cup runneth over: The UN? 'There is no such thing as the United Nations.' The UN building? 'If you lost ten storeys, it wouldn't make a bit of difference.' Reform of the Security Council? 'If I were redoing the Security Council, I'd have one permanent member ...the United States.' The International Criminal Court? 'Fuzzy-minded romanticism ...not just naive but dangerous.'
