I thought shorter John Bolton was Yosemite Sam.

I’ll say this for Bolton and Yoo, they’ve got a fucking nerve.

Now now, Cid, everyone knows Captain Kangaroo is already in Hell because of that incidence with the moose and the ping-pong balls.

Calling Michelle Malkin a moose … that’s just over the line.

It appears that the NYT doesn’t allow comments on that Bolton/Yoo op-ed. A pity: I wanted to congratulate the Gray Lady on its allowing valuable space to two fucking war criminals.

And I think, given that WaPo piece, that Pamelot Oshrieking Hellion now owes Bolton all manner of sexual depravity for the next 20 years.

Until I saw John Bolton, I had not been aware that Professor Cuthbert Calculus had an evil twin.

That’s not a man, that’s a Muppet, and I think that we all know whose hand is up his ass.

a mustache. Who advocates killing lots of brown people. Hey, don't blame me. All I advocate is good-faith negotiations with no preconceptions, mediated by a genuinely honest broker, but the boss pays no attention.

We hope the new vice president will not reverse his commitment to the Senate’s constitutional authority. But an administration determined to tie one hand behind America’s back might use Congressional-executive agreements to push the nation all too easily into quixotic and impractical global governance regimes.

Wow. Just…wow. This from the guys who were only too happy to bypass the Senate’s constitutional authority just a few short years ago. Nope, no hypocrisy here.

These two deserve to stand trial in the Hague right next to Chimpy and Dick, his puppeteer.

Also, two of the most hilariously wrong people this side of Bill Kristol get a guest commentary in the NYT? Oh, wait.

I would just like to make it abundantly clear: I am not John Bolton. When I said some time ago that I thought a multi-state solution to the problem was worth investigating, that was not what I meant. (I was referring to the problem of Gaza and the West Bank not being geographically contiguous, and postulating a hypothetical East and West Palestine, for instance. Also, when I brought up Jordan, I was proposing that the Jordanians should by rights cede land to the Palestinians, in accordance with the agreement of 1948, rather than the Jordanians simply taking over Palestine again. This is an is/ought scenario, obviously.)

Unlike John Bolton, I a) actually know some real history, not just the right-wing spin on it, b) am not a batshit-crazy neocon, c) don’t stand to profit in any way from any of this, d) can distinguish hypotheticals from political reality, and e) don’t have a banana made of hair growing on my upper lip.

Also, despite being distinctly postcolonial in outlook, I can actually think outside the empire/colonialism box when warranted, unlike most neocons, who really seem like they’d be happier being English government functionaries in about 1850.

Objections to this idea [splitting Palestine between Egypt and Jordan] will be manifold, and implementation difficult. One place to avoid problems is dispensing with intricate discussions over the exact legal status of Gaza and the West Bank. These territories contain more legal theories than land. “Retrocession” to Egypt and Jordan may or may not become permanent, but one need not advocate that to get started in the interim.

Biggest understatement of the decade or stupidest fucking “thinking” ever?

It’s so hard to choose.

I suppose it never occurred to Mr. “Let’s take off the top ten stories of the U.N.” Bolton to check with the Egyptians and Jordanians before he published his brilliant plan.

As always when I see Bolton, I wonder if he’s eating one of those cute little Scrubbing Bubbles or if he has an endorsement deal with SC Johnson.

in the case of Bolton, he’s a disgusting old man who likes to make people angry and then pretend he didn’t do anything.

Watched him defending the Iraq Clusterfuck on some BBC show recently, & this is spot-on … like his Great Leader, he’s incapable of making mistakes, the lucky ducky … yet another passive-aggressive AEI pinhead.

Nominating a UN Embassador who despises the UN? Par for the course with BushCo.

Bolton will probably wind up being best known for acting like a toddler with diaper rash at the UN – regularly. The best thing he ever did for his country was resigning in 2006 … & the best thing he could do for it now is STFU.

Alec--not kidding. The youth series of the Left Behind books comes with a toolkit of some sort, and this guy's blogging about it. You apparently can also gamer it up. Damn, I wish I were kidding now that I checked it online...... It almost seems like the Red State Strike Force took the idea from LaHaye's Tribulation Force, wonder if they're linked there...but not enough to check....LOL. “Who is John Bolton, and why should anyone be listening to him?” He's slightly worse to listen to than Michael Bolton (probably no relation).

THE HAIR AND MUSTASHE OF JOHN BOLTING ARE DESIGNED TO CONCEAL AT LEAST THREE OF TEH FUCHING FERRETS AT ANY GIVEN TIME. TEH FUCHING FERRETS ACTUALLY CONTROLL HIS SPEACH AND MAKE HIM ADVANCE TEH FERRETIST POSITIEN. HIS STATEMENTS ABOUT IRAN WERE PART OF JOHN MCCANES PLAN TO SEIZE THEIR EYELINER DEPOSITS SINCE CINDY MCCANE TIPICALLY USES SIX TO EIGHT TONS PER WEEK. IN RETURN TEH FUCHING FERRETS WOULD DISPENSE FACE GANAWING AND SHISHKEBAB CONVERSION THROUHGOUT THE MIDDLE EAST. SINCE JOHN MCCANE LOST THE ELECTION TEH FERRETIST CABAL IS IN HIDING AND DESPERTLY COMMUNICATING THROUGH OPED PIECES IN THE VEIN ATTEMPT TO GET PRESIDENT O’BAMBA TO CURB TEH FERRETIST POWAR. TEH FUCHING FERRETS ALWAYS THINK STRATIEGECELLY AND LONG TERM. THEY PLAN ON KEEPING THE GUANTANMERA CAMP IN RANTOUL ILLINOS RUNNING FOR AS LONG AS NEEDED TO AVENGE THEMSELVES FOR BEING STIFFED OUT OF THE 700 BILLION BALEOUT CHECK AND FOR AS LONG AS NEEDED TO MAKE SARA AND TOD PALING INTO HOOD ORNAMENTS. THE RANTOUL ILLINOS PRESS HAS AN EXTENSIVE SIERES OF STORIES BUT FEW READ THEM BECAUSE OF THEIR SMALL DISTRIBUTIEN.

I’m actually a bit of a coward myself. With one difference, however: I………went……..anyway.

So, it wasn’t debilitating. I am actually a fairly major coward and don’t know how I’d respond to a summons to battle. Part of my acknowledging this is that I support peaceful solutions to problems, though I have other reasons for that.

I applaud your courage and self-awareness.

Shocking the NYT would publish an Op-Ed from an Anti-Arab crazy.

Tomorrow at the NYT: “Daniel Pipes on why the Israelis should nuke Gaza in the name of peace.”
