| Will Bolton Tell All? |
| 2007-02-22 |
| John Bolton's tell-all book on his days at the State Department and as ambassador to the United Nations could be coming out as early as the end of this year. All right, maybe not a classic "tell-all" -- perhaps just a "tell-some" -- but top folks in Foggy Bottom and at the United Nations are most surely not going to be happy when this one comes out. The buzz is that it's going to focus mostly on Bolton's work at the United Nations, where he's said to be still upset at his inability to lop off 10 of the building's 38 floors that he had said were expendable. The book is likely to rank the floors in order of those most expendable. Unclear how Bolton will treat his most recent bosses, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice. His view of Rice may have altered a bit after last week's agreement with North Korea on its nuclear program, an agreement Bolton and other conservatives have criticized as "a bad deal." There are others at State sure to come in for their share of abuse. No working title yet and no publisher, although several have expressed interest. But if this is to come out before Christmas, he'd better get typing. |

| #2 UN space would be better utilized for construction of East river condos. As for Bolton, he is a 2-stater on Palestine. I won't buy anything from one of those. |

| #1 The book is likely to rank the floors in order of those most expendable. LOL! If Darth Bolton pulls that off in a tell-all book, maybe, just maybe, there's hope for us to kick them out of the U.S.! His comments and insight into the NorK deal should be interesting "reading" too. Definitely one for my collection when if it gets printed. BTW, do we have a Kofi-Watch thingy in effect? Does anyone know where he and his spawn offspring ended up? |
