6. Is jon bolton busy?

Not sure why I had to even say that, but I am just astonished at how that clown EVER got to be our ambassador to the UN. Talk about insulting the position.

Why is Susan Rice leaving? It's just a shame that she took the hit for the whole communication (mythical) disaster at Benghazi. Talk about a dirty end of the stick. She got it.

7. Rice is the new National Security Advisor. nt

8. This has to be giving the teabaggers fits!

And anything that gives them fits is OK with me.
