#1 It's almost like there's a message there.

#3 It's exactly what's needed, but also exactly what will aggravate. If he is resilient, tenacious and clever in the face of opposition, then well done, President Bush.

#7 He will probably be our best U. N. Ambassador since that Donk Daniel Patrick Moynihan.

#8 Uh, #2 John - I think with Dr. Rice it's more bad cop - bad cop. :-D

#11 He'll give an address to the Security Council, and we can watch the feigned righteous indignation flow....

Good pick!

#12 This is an inspired pick. A big F you to the UN. I agree that the Repubs will be videotaping his confirmation hearings to document which Dems stick up for the UN. The campaign commercials will be processed and in the can for whichever Repub candidates need them in '06, '08 and '10. Sometimes I think Bush may be this super-genius playing 3D chess with a bunch of opponents who haven't quite mastered checkers. I hope he can bring the same skills to bear on the judicial confirmation fights.

#13 Barbara, I'd take it a step further, to "bad cop, worse cop." Of course, that's only when Condi Rice is wearing those wonderful boots. ;-)

#17 Mrs. D we think alike. Even though Mr. Moynahan was a Democrat he was a very good Ambassador.

#18 DPM was an American first and Democrat second - today's donks seem to have forgot the order and in some cases, thrown their second (American) out if it satisfies their grubby power needs - see Boxer, Waxman, Schumer, Lautenberg, Reid, Rangel, et al

#20 The confirmation hearings, according to Donk Paid Apologists, will be long, loud, and bloody.

#21 hmmmm - pass the popcorn - let the American people see whether the Donks represent them or the corrupt anti-American organization on Turtle Bay. Hope it's live on all channels

#22 Bolton is a polarizing figure. And that's a good thing.
