Bolton Bashing in Rhode Island
This week, former RI Attorney General Sheldon Whitehouse and RI Secretary of State Matt Brown took turns trying to pressure RINO Republican Senator Lincoln Chafee, who may hold the key vote on John Bolton's nomination as UN ambassador, into opposing Bolton's nomination. Whitehouse and Brown, both Democrats, are vying for the chance to challenge Chafee's senate seat in 2006.
"Mr. Bolton has exhibited little respect for the international body that seeks to maintain and promote peace and provide humanitarian relief to troubled nations," said Whitehouse in a letter addressed to Chafee.
Said Brown, "It's wrong for Senator Chafee to vote for such an extreme nominee for a position so important to our national security."
The UN might seek to maintain and promote peace, but it has been highly unsuccessful in actually maintaining or promoting it. As far as the UN's humanitarian efforts go, the "Oil for Food" program is a prime example of how inefficient and corruption-filled UN humanitarian endeavors usually are.
Given those realities, a hardball player and "extreme nominee" like John Bolton is exactly what the UN needs.

"Mr. Bolton has exhibited little respect for the international body {the international body must first earn respect - the UN is going backwards in this regard} that seeks {how, by empty rhetoric?} to maintain and promote peace and provide humanitarian relief to troubled nations," {yeah, that's going real well, ain't it?} said Whitehouse in a letter addressed to Chafee.
Said Brown, "It's wrong for Senator Chafee to vote for such an extreme {when did extremism come to be the same as realism?} nominee for a position so important to our national security." {I guess to a liberal it is better to have a yes-man as ambassador, ready and willing to rubber-stamp another scandal or failed program}
"Oppose Michael Bolton, Mr. Chafee! Oh, and by the way, we're seeking to replace you with real Democrats such as ourselves in 2006."
Perilous we are, standing on Chafee's sense of political identity.
The UN is like an NFL team with 10 straight losing seasons under a series of "player's coaches" that just learned the new head coach will be ... Bill Parcells.
God, do they hanker after a Mommy Party benevolent face ala Bill Clinton.
