As the unravelling of the NeoCons continues, today its John Bolton’s turn to flee the sinking ship.
Though just two weeks ago Bolton said he expected to be re-upped, Bush today accepted his resignation. From AP today…
Bush planned to meet with Bolton and his wife later Monday in the Oval Office.
Bush said he accepted Bolton’s decision with deep regret.
The resignation, of course, comes in the wake of a new Democratic Congress which was not about to let Bolton’s nomination get out of committee. One of the annoyances of that whole “checks and balances” thing, which D.C. politicos have now been forced to go back and look up for reference in the history books to freshen up on the concept.
For his part, Bush was busy freshening up on that concept called “reality” which is showing its ugly face more and more in the White House of late, despite the best efforts of dead-enders in the administration (led by Dead-Ender-in-Chief, George W. Bush) to pretend this is still 2003.
In a letter to Bush, dated last Friday, Bolton offered no reason for his decision. “After careful consideration, I have concluded that my service in your administration should end when the current recess appoint expires,” Bolton wrote.
For one small reminder of Bush’s obnoxiously inappropriate recess appointment of Bolton to the U.N. in the first place, we refer you — hopefully for the last time — to this short video of Bolton, as we wave goodbye to the mustachioed Ambassador and await the inevitable announcement of his new job as an “analyst” for Fox “News”.
Yes, but exactly WHO is John Bolton? Now he will have to stop wearing the giant fake white mustache and mis-matching wig…and glasses…the lesson? People who look like walrus’s do not work out in the U.N.!!! goo goo ga joob
I’m revising my lesson: “People who look like Captain Kangaroo do not work out in the U.N.”
Hey…didn’t anybody tell him?
The neo-cons don’t know who Captain Kangaroo is??? No one spoke to him in the Bush administration, and said, before he took office, “Get rid of the ‘Captain Kangaroo’ look?” WTF??????????? Why are we all pretending that we had a U.N. representative that didn’t look like Captain Kangaroo??? Are we THAT afraid of the neo-cons???
…I ask of thee…
This is just ANOTHER example of Bush living in a “plastic bubble”…the fact that he hired someone to represent us in a worldwide organization…and made us a laughing stock, with a guy who looks like Captain Kangaroo. You mean to tell me, he couldn’t even dye his mustache to match his hair? You’re telling that NO ONE could’ve gave him an anonymous gift of “Grecian Formula 15”?????? as a hint??? What kind of people ARE these neo-cons???
Hiring a guy who looks like Captain Kangaroo just shows the DISRESPECT the neo-cons have for the U.N. Let’s hope Bush now nominates someone who looks does NOT look like a distracting children’s show character this time!
That’s about all I have to say on the matter…
Mr. Perpetually – Got Milk,
finally got canned.
Good riddance Mr. Bolton.
Party at the Hague~ be there or be square;)
Off Topic
New video release of Pentagon impact here.
OT,..
A conversation heard at a Jewish cemetery one year before 9/11, a discussion in Hebrew 11 months before the WTC attack, told of the coming event. US Attorney General John Ashcroft and the FBI were contacted upon numerous occasions to report this conversation about the intended destruction of the WTC but the warnings were not taken seriously.
Link to detailed article.
Just waiting to see what what war-mongering hate-filled anti-American fascist corporatist Federalist Iran-Contra-convicted-but-pardoned NeoCon psychopath The Decider nominates next.
But of course: Kissinger.
Wouldn’t you just hate to be a family member of Captain Kangaroo. You know it’s coming. “I’m going to spend more time with my family”.
Agent 99 #7
Don’t they have one from farther away? 🙂
neoconvict #9
Kissinger can’t leave the country, but Lee Hamilton might be available soon.
If Gates is approved by the Democrats, this is the bellweather of if the Dems are serious about change. Gates is a Bush I stooge and bagman. The only thing Gates has going for him, is that he doesn’t look like Captain Kangaroo. Beyond that, he is just as bad, maybe worse than Bolton (besides the Captain Kangaroo thing).
I know it’s a different post, but look up Gate’s criminal past. It’s mind boggling, the people Bush nominates for posts. That is why stealing the presidential election is THE most important to steal…because the president gets to nominate all the criminals.
Neil Young: “Who’s the man, who hired all the criminals?” (Let’s impeach the president)
He was appointed in avoidance of the rules because the Senate would not even hold hearings to approve the nomination.
Rather than mess his pants during a tirade when the dems would have grilled him, he did a cut and run.
Preznit blush do it again and nominate blush limbaugh?
Funny Brad..go to Fox News….maybe since O’Reilly is losing credibility and ratings. …he could get that spot. Former UN ambassador hmmmm..no sense of humor ..mean.This is cutting edge.
Koo koo kachoo!

“REPORTER: Sir, you talked quite often about the credibility of the UN …
JOHN BOLTON: And so has Secretary Rice.
REPORTER: yes and Rice has as well but that seems to work in your favor when they do what you want them to do but you violated the UN Charter when you went to war against Iraq and you consistently lied to us about the reasons that we went to war. And this war was drawn up in Herzlia, Israel, in 1996, with the Project of a New American Century; and why do you have credibility other than that you’ve just got the biggest guns?
JOHN BOLTON: Can, may I ask what media outlet you’re from?
REPORTER: [unclear] news weekly.
JOHN BOLTON: I see. We did not violate the UN Charter in the war to overthrow Saddam Hussein and that plan was not drawn up in Herzlia, the Project for a New American Century …”

“…On July 8, 1996, Richard Perle, a former head of the Defense Policy Board in the Pentagon, delivered a document to the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. Perle, and a team of American neo-cons, had been tasked by Netanyahu to draft a new Israeli strategy that would abrogate the Oslo Accords and overturn the entire concept of ‘comprehensive land for peace’ in favor of a policy of military conquest and occupation.

That is one gutsy girl. I wonder how she got in there.
I hope someone here can help me to remember the name of a movie that has one of my favorite quotes:
“So, ya let a woman beat you, huh, ya tiny little nothin'”
OMG, I alughed good and hard ( for the first time in several years ) about all the Captain Kangaroo comments. Funny Stuff !!!! Thank goodness the Neo-Con shit is finally becoming apparent to the peeps of the U.S. And it only took 6 Gawd-Damned years for people to finally wake the fuck up….Jeeeezzzzz. Now that the Neo-Cons are being backed into a corner I fear they may lash out with another 9/11 though. Let’s all hope and pray not…..
We’ll see who gonna get RAILROADED!
#20 not only that, she is one smart cookie! She knew exactly what she was talking about (which is why Bolton’s jaw and ‘stache both dropped so low) … Richard Perle delivered the first NeoCON Iraq War plot “Clean Break” document from IASPS to Netanyahu on July 8, 1996 :
