McCain wants Bolton confirmed quickly

Sun Sep 24, 12:36 PM ET

WASHINGTON - Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record) on Sunday urged quick confirmation for John Bolton as U.N. ambassador, saying the nominee is needed to talk back to "two-bit dictators" such as Venezuela's president.


McCain, R-Ariz., joined lawmakers from both parties in condemning Hugo Chavez's speech last week at the
United Nations in which the Venezuelan called
President Bush "the devil."

"I would say that this is an argument to get John Bolton confirmed as our U.N. ambassador," McCain said on CBS' "Face the Nation." "He's smart, he's tough, he will respond to these guys. And he could talk back to these two-bit dictators who have the airfare to New York."

The
Senate Foreign Relations Committee this month was expected to approve along party lines Bolton, whom Bush appointed temporarily to the post last year over opposition by Democrats and a few Republicans.

1. Memo to McCain: Chavez is not a dictator.

[IndianaGreen]

7. Memo to McCain: Bush is insane, Bolton sucks, and you are an idiot

I hope that there are no more McCain admirers left on this board.

[ixion]

22. yep, you said it

he's proven he's a loyal neocon time and time again.

[ShortnFiery]

2. That's worthy of a one star rating :(

Yes, one star for one of the Three Republican Stooges who condone TORTURE. IMO, traitors to all good and moral principles that Our Beloved Country should stand for - I will not forgive their treason. :grr:

IMO - STFU John McCain, you traitor! :puke:

[razors edge]

3. He should be committed quickly.

[xxqqqzme]

4. hey john-boy

that '2-bit dictator' was ELECTED by an overwhelming majority - unlike the ass you kiss, who stole the last twp US elections.

[Tellurian]

13. Yes, John- Be honest, Bolton?

How can you give up so easily..Don't tell me they promised you
support for a run at the "top" job?

They LIED!

[Erika]

5. To think I donated to McCain

I'm so ashamed.

[burrowowl]

8. WHAT were you thinking!

McCain!?!?!
Were you fooled by the so-called moderate Repug label or WHAT?
I am glad you have come to your senses and I admire your honesty.

[Erika]

12. I fell for McCain talking about returning government to the

people through straighttalk. What can I say?

When W/Rove knived him in the back in South Carolina and he kissed up to W, I said screw him.

Rove went after his family relentlessy, and McCain hugs W? That was the end of my flirtation with a McCain bid.

[Chipper Chat]

14. Rove has something on McCain.

Could be Vietnam War documents still classified which KKK threatens to release if John doesn't become the next stooge who will play by PNAC rules. McCain is too rational to play kissyface with the fundies without a reason.

[Mind Snapper]

31. Rational?

Did you read the OP?

[IndianaGreen]

9. You shouldn't let one little mistake traumatize you all your life

to think I felt sorry for McCain when Bush smeared him during the 2000 primary season. What happened to that guy?

[Jawja]

25. I donated and supported

McCain, too.
I am very ashamed.;(

[jaysunb]

6. This sounds like pay back for a good job

done by Johnny Mack, Warner and Graham in kicking up enough dust to obscure the real motives ( ex post facto pardons for Bush & Co war crimes )

Neither Chavez or Ahmajidadi are dictators, and their nations oil wealth won't just buy a plane ticket to New York ! it can BUY all they don't already own.

Fuck Johns McCain & Bolton. :evilfrown:

[truthisfreedom]

10. john, sorry, but i don't think this is going to happen.

it just doesn't seem to be in the cards.

[daleo]

11. McCain must want war with Iran

That will be Bolton's main mission in life.

[struggle4progress]

15. Oh, does wittle Johnny Mick wannanudda hug from his Pwesident?

[AzDar]

16. Just more evidence that McCain is nothing but a five-dollar 'ho. n/t

[ConcernedCanuk]

17. Interesting sig line "Oh, George..not the LIVESTOCK!"

.
.
.

Did a google check on it -

seems it's not specific

Here's a couple of references:

(George "Baby Face" Nelson shoots a herd of cows during the getaway) Oh, George, not the livestock.
____________________________________________________

As Ulysses warns his men against killing the sacred oxen of the sun for food, Delmar warns Nelson, "Oh, George, not the livestock!"

SO

Is that sorta like shooting yourself in the foot?

Sorry,

I just get curious sometimes . .

[AzDar]

35. Don't be sorry...It's from 'O Brother Where Art Thou'; a modern

cinematic masterpiece, IMNSHO.
My entire family loves the movie and quotes it liberally.
This particular line would be roughly metaphoric for any act which is dismayingly wasteful/spiteful;SO fitting these days.
The soundtrack is a fine piece o' work too...

[rpannier]

18. I want Mc Cain to...

kiss my ass and go to hell!!!!!!

When he does those two things he can have Bolton confirmed to the UN.


on note: I find it amazing that "moderate" mc cain has so little understanding of what a dictator is.

[acmavm]

19. What is with some of the people here? How many times do they have to

be told that McCain was always a lying opportunistic bastard? Have they never looked up his record and his ties to Charles Keating?

Sheesh.

[Vidar]

20. Moving from Vichy status straight to SS.

[Human Torch]

21. "He's smart enough, he's tough enough, and doggone it, people like him"

Seems like McCain's channeling Stewart Smalley, eh?



I'm more concerned about two-bit dictators who have the airfare to Crawford.

[leesa]

23. Bolton can get that war with Venezuela hummin'

McCain is a texbook example of the dangers of torturing. What a nutbag.

[Vidar]

24. A note of thanks to Lincoln Chafee, who is keeping McCain's wish

from coming true.

[samsingh]

26. mccain is back to his former 'no dignity' self.

[habitual]

27. Basically, Hurry up while we still have a chance...

notice that they are trying to do as much damage as possible before the election....

[rhett o rick]

28. Guess who comes to mind when I hear "Two bit dictator"? mn

[Zorra]

29. Bolton is a neocon fascist and signatory of the PNAC

"Statement of Principles".

He may be "tough", but, obviously, he's not too swift.

Thug diplomacy will not work at the UN, and Bolton, who already is a joke among UN diplomats, will continue the Bu*h policy of alienating the rest of the world against the US.

McCain just proved once and for all that his judgement is poor, and that he is definitely not presidential material.

[warrens]

30. Dream on, fascist pig

Ol' Got Milk is toast.

[Mind Snapper]

32. The President should be able

to nominate who wants to positions like UN ambassador, amirite?

If Yosemite Sam is his choice, then dammit!, Yosemite Sam it is!

[0007]

33. ....and I want John McCain excommunicated from the Senate immediately

[Javaman]

34. Let the panicking begin!!!

They are trying like hell to ram through everything they can before their asses get handed to them in November.

Suddenly everything looks soooooooo important to them.

Hey mclame, eat shit. bolthead ain't getting shit.

[wisteria]

36. Maybe Bolton is one of the reasons we are losing respect in the world.

And who is McCain to demand that Bolton be confirmed quickly. He isn't the president the last time I checked. He is obnoxious. I will never vote for this man. I don't know what others see in him. He is nothing but a phony.

[onehandle]

37. McCain loves kissing Bush ass.

Pucker up, you thug.

[Spirochete]

38. McCain's just another fascist

I wish his cancer had put up a better fight.
