#1 An unattributed editorial from the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune, lol. This means:

1) Bolton's doing a superlative job

2) They don't have a clear angle on how to smear Dr Rice... yet

LOL.

#2 The Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune is a communist rag. I consider this Editorial an endorsement of Bolton methods. He should wear this as a badge of honor.

#3 Call me crazy, but if they got rid of even half of the corruption that goes on there, they should have enough money to do their "important work" just fine.

#4  Bolton single-handedly sabotaged talks with North Korea on its nuclear-weapons program.
Really? I blame Mad Halfbright and that dim witted, cowardly Jimmy Carter for that long before Bolton showed up.

Time and again, he has mucked up U.N. efforts to reform the organization
That one leaves me speechless though, so I've concluded that this editorial sucks and the author is an effete UN loving windbag tranzi.

#5 The department no longer had to suffer his brutish, undiplomatic but highly effective approach to foreign policy. Thank goodness, Bolton does not appear to believe in traditional statesmanship; his way is to wade into an issue, mouth blazing, and demand that his views _ by extension, America's views _ prevail.

#6 Why how refreshing a diplomat that has America's views as his top priority, I like Bolten alot he is a keeper.

#10 The UN and its lickspittles must be feeling pressure from him.

Good.

#11  that is particularly true at U.N. headquarters, where consensus is the traditional path to action...

Uh, no. At the UN consensus is the traditional path to lunch.

#13 . . . his brutish, undiplomatic approach to foreign policy

To my mind, this is a feature, not a bug.

#15 I have always considered the m0onb@+ reaction of the left a good measure on how good a person is doing their job. For instance:

They revile Karl Rove – He has won two Presidential elections (very poor)

They hate Condi Rice – Gosh how can a Black female with a doctorate be a successful Secretary of State (just horrible)

They despise Arnold – Single handedly (we have a Democrat controlled legislator) turned projected years of deficit into HUGE revenues and saved the economy of California (Nazi)

Bolton should have been confirmed by the Senate last year but we have sheep for leaders. Given his great success at the un I am surprised he hasn’t been attacked more.
