Diplomats are not diplomatic.

They're mercenaries. Bolton is "mercenarial" & he'll fit right in.

I find him unsympathetic as heck myself, but that too is a sign he'll fit in with most of the UN ambassadors and representatives.

The Sir Anthony Eden era is long over--for better or for worse.

        First, your source is the "Washington Times", where Democrats are an endangered species. - Mary Anne - 5/29/2005 4:49:08 PM
        
        Oh no, you can't really meant that. You just can't have. - Sam F. - 5/29/2005 6:10:06 PM

        Yeah, the UN members have been real diplomatic with Bush! (n/t) - SDAI-Tech1 - 5/27/2005 2:30:34 AM

        It isn't about bending over and taking it from people whose bills we are paying, either. (n/t) - Tom Brosz - 5/27/2005 6:43:43 AM
        
        You mean we aren't in arrears anymore? (n/t) - Mary Anne - 5/27/2005 3:21:15 PM
        
        You want to tally it up since the organization was founded? (n/t) - Tom Brosz - 5/27/2005 6:51:10 PM

        So naturally, we should allow the least of us to set the agenda. Nice. (n/t) - Mary Anne - 5/27/2005 3:03:02 PM

        Just as it was just about Condi Rice, the judges who have been waiting 4+ years for the "advise and consent" up/down vote thing... - Scott Evil - 5/26/2005 8:38:06 PM
        
        "Advise and consent" does not mean "rubber stamp". - Mary Anne - 5/26/2005 11:06:39 PM
        
        Of course it doesn't mean rubber stamp. - Scott Evil - 5/27/2005 2:44:36 PM

        Of course you do. Don't work with the public much, do you? - Mary Anne - 5/27/2005 5:17:20 PM
        
        I feel sorry for Judge Lefcow. But she is completely wrong. - Scott Evil - 5/27/2005 5:34:33 PM

        I'm shaken, not stirred. ;-) (n/t) - Sam F. - 5/27/2005 7:17:56 PM
        
        Yes. Apparently you took something differently from it than I did. - Scott Evil - 5/27/2005 6:12:30 PM
        
        Sorry, just seemed to me that you made no mention of... - alcaray - 5/27/2005 6:54:48 PM
        
        PS: The judge's name is Lefkow, with a K. - Mary Anne - 5/27/2005 6:44:40 PM

        So you hired him November 2? - Sam F. - 5/27/2005 10:38:17 PM
        
        He is the President. He is a public servant. I am part of the public. Next! - Mary Anne - 5/27/2005 11:57:06 PM
