U.N.leash Woolly Bully Bolton
By MAUREEN DOWD

Why are they picking on poor John Bolton? Everyone knows the man is perfect for the United Nations job.

For one thing, his raging-bull temperament is ideally suited to an organization steeped in global pettifoggers and oil-for-food pilferers.

The uncombed, untethered Mr. Bolton is fabulously operatic - the Naomi Campbell of the Bush administration, ready at a moment's notice to beat up on underlings.

1. A fascist ambassador for a fascist state

Why be hypocritical?

2. Great editorial!

Is it just me who think the best part of DU is "Editorials and Other Articles"?

3. I agree and Dowd is one of my favorites

7. Nope, I think so too

I think I hang out here reading editorials (and DU responses to editorials) more than I hang out in the lounge or LBN.

4. Fun piece to read, but not to take seriously.

"If John Bolton is unfairly denied a chance to ply his diplomatic talents at the U.N., maybe he can work for Bill Gates.

After Mr. Gates shamefully backed down from supporting gay rights legislation - a Washington State preacher had threatened to boycott the company - Microsoft could use a feral muscleman to face down the evangelical bully.

That's a job - or an ankle - Mr. Bolton could really sink his teeth into."
