Oh, irony, thy name is John Bolton.
"The State Department has no responsibility to send fruitcakes around as if they are representatives of America," says former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton, who told Fox News that Imam Rauf should be dumped from the trip and that the State Department should investigate how he was included in the first place.

"I am just amazed that he could be selected to represent our country speaking around the world," Bolton observes."

Sorry for the Fox News link, but that's the only place I found the quote. I haven't really heard anything about the underlying story other than from right wing sources with lots of feigned outrage, but frankly I could care less about the underlying story. I just thought the amount of projection from Bolton in that quote was incredible.

4. Her, as well as....drum roll please.....


He who for years drummed up false intelligence in order to support the Iraq War. He who was the only UN Ambassador in known history to be antithetical to the organization of which he was a member of. He who is currently trying to stoke the fires of a major Middle East War.
