5/13    Listen to Bolton in his own voice (proof that he's not a nutjob):
        link:csua.org/u/c17
        \_ Wow, I didn't know anything about this till now. He seems to have
           a lot of Bush's qualities. Go America!
        \_ I was expecting beautiful voices of Michael Bolton but... nevermind
        \_ I was expecting beautiful voice of Michael Bolton but... nevermind
        \_ Our future UN Ambassador is so BIG and TAX FREE, and Condi Rice is
           behind him 100%!  Thanks for the URL, but I also think the spot
           would be much more effective without the text cues and the credit.
           behind him 100%!  Thanks for the URL.
           behind him 100%!
        \_ Okay I have a video without the text cues
           http://www.moveamericaforward.org/images/uploads/Bolton-UN.wmv
        \_ Gee, I don't know about this Bolton thing. I think it's just a
           setup. The conservatives want to put in a conservative candidate but
           know that he/she'll get rejected, so they put in an obvious radical
           nutcase (Bolton) that they know will get rejected. And while the
           Democrats declare victory for turning Bolton down, Republican's
           will put in the candidate they intended in the first place--
           conservative. It's kind of like a store where the merchant raises
           his price by 50%, then offer a 25% discount to buyers who think
           they're getting a deal. The merchant still get the better
           deal, but at least both sides are happy.
           \_ I don't think so.  I think the Bolton nomination was a total
              overreach, and when Voinivich put the breaks on a few weeks
              back, the WH had a big "oh crap" moment.  They could play the
              obstructionist card when it was just the opposition working to
              stop their nominations.  When R's start to break ranks on you,
              especially in today's party, you've seriously fucked up.

        While I'm no fan of Condi's hawkish diplomacy, I've always admired
        people with multiple professional-level talents.

           \_ She doesn't have a hot body.

        \_ See, Bush could've run that by Condi first.
        \_ Damn, why couldn't they consult with the motd first? Seems like
           we have more Russian speakers than the entire state department.
           No wonder only 6 months ago USA-Russia relations hit an all-time low
