When Bolton goes to the UN he will redefine the term Ugly American.
The original Ugly American term implied a man with a supercilious attitude who brought a missionary like attitude of American superiority over the benighted peoples of the world. With Bolton that attitude will still be there to the Nth degree but will also carry a new meaning.Just look at the guy and you will know what I mean!

3. PBS has said over and over that Bolton will reflect what Bush wants said
and done.

Bush is an Ugly American, and his representative will be just like him.

5. "...will....."?
Oh, I'd say that boat left port quite a while ago.

Thanks to Ratface In The White House, we're all Ugly Americans - not individually, but the United States.

6. He'll validate what a mean nation we've become in the name of democracy.
An oxymoron at best.

7. He won't define it. Many have before him, but he
will be the poster boy of this year's Ugly American award for a few years to come.

8. Change one word:
In your first sentence, rather than "a missionary like attitude," make it "a mercenary like attitude." That's our Ugly American 2005.
