John Bolton Watch: A LIAR Democrats Charge

Thirty-five Democrat Senators and Turn-Coat Republican, now Independent Jeffords, have charged that John Bolton, United Nations Ambassador nominee was “not truthful” in answering questions about his record. And they have urged President Bush on Friday not to make a recess appointment of Mr. Bolton as United Nations ambassador after the Senate’s failure (due to Democrat filibuster) to confirm him for that job.

A copy of the letter is here.

But one Republican official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the president has not announced his decision, said Mr. Bush would probably appoint Mr. Bolton next week.

The Democrats do not want to let this go. John Bolton is the President’s pick for the United Nation’s ambasssadorship. But, they will not move-on…….

In a final gesture of opposition, Democratic senators indicated that they would use a parliamentary maneuver to formally send Mr. Bolton’s name back to the White House once the Senate adjourns, rather than have it remain pending at the Senate.

That move was seen as symbolic, but one reflecting the growing bitterness of Democrats and their hopes that by standing firm they would make it more politically awkward for Mr. Bush to give Mr. Bolton the interim appointment.

Republicans, on the other hand, said Mr. Bush would likely go ahead and make the appointment as early as next week.

And who is the leader in this charge against Bolton?

Why it is plagiarising Senator and Presidential candidate Joe Biden, D- Delaware, RANKING (and Flap does mean rank – very rank) member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Joe, haven’t you heard about folks who live in glass houses?

The President should have appointed Bolton over the July 4th recess.

Appoint Bolton and shake-up the United Nations.
