#1 Bring it on, bitch. You'll get a public smackdown that will leave your ears ringing for years. Even the crybabies "get it". What a complete political whore, not that he's unique or anything, LOL. :-)

#2 Connecticut is smaller than the County I live in. Tell me again why this tool Dodd matters at all?

#3 The US Senate. A real can of worms there, Sock Puppet. Our own frequently dysfunctional House of Lords. If only ours slept as soundly... Even the "progressives" have some problems with it, although arguably it must rank right alongside judicial activism as their best ally. One look at its ranks, the stupidity that flows from it, the confirmation partisanship, and the unconstitutional filibuster tradition certainly make that clear to me.

#4 This seems like an opportunity, not a problem. Dodd & Co. are only painting themselves further and further into a corner on this issue before the November elections. This may help Dodd get Kos support in his run for the Presidential nomination but it is going to make the Donks look more and more irresponsible on national defence.

#6 but it is going to make the Donks look more and more irresponsible on national defence.

Is that possible?

#7 You hit it 2b! Dodd is merely taking advantage of an opportunity for some free publicity. Nothing to see here, move along.

#8 This has a lovely potential to backfire on Chris baby if he decides to follow through on it. He can scream all he wants about how Bolton is an extremist, and all the administration has to do is release Bolton's statements telling off Malloch Brown, et al, when they made blatantly anti-American remarks. Considering how unpopular the UN is with the rest of America, it may be enough to guarantee his confirmation.

#10 I wonder if Bolton'll be as "bruised" as that waitress him and Teddy laid the drunken sandwich on?

#11 Bolton has gone out of his way to make the un work the way it is charted too. If Dodd and company have a list of missteps then bring them out, but if all they have is talking points then they should just shut up.

#12 Unfortunately, Darth Bolton is not at liberty to take these idiots down a few pegs
