Roanoke Times, 4/14/05 Pg Va 8: Senators should block Bolton from UN Ambassador.
-
The Editor and his media partners want a UN-friendly person as UN Ambassador and will do or say anything to achieve that goal. Jimmy Carter would be on top of their list. Their "big gotcha" on Bolton is that he was unpleasant and spoke harsh words to a CIA staffer. The Editor's claim is that the incident centered on the premise that the staffer would not change his views to Bolton's view. The Senate Subcommittee evidence (testimony and emails and etc.) is that the staffer did not solicit and coordinate input from multiple departments on a draft document, as he was directed, and then he LIED about it to multiple people! At the Roanoke Times I bet Ms. Z. would fire someone for that behavior (after she spoke harsh words too).

Also in this article The Editor asserts, again, that George W. is responsible for North Korea nucs. I was hoping that he had read my 2/17/05 blog item and had then done the appropriate research to validate that Bill Clinton, his UN guy Richardson, and Jimmy Carter, were the folks we can thank for North Korea nucs.

Not in this article is the "outing" of a CIA agent by name by Sen. John Kerry during the Senate hearings this week! How could The Editor have missed that. He was so into the "outing" of Mr. Wilson's CIA wife and so excited about seeing someone go to jail for doing it. So when is the trial for Sen. Kerry and can he have Martha's cell? Should be a short trial, it's on video!

------------Late Breaking News Item---------------
Found: example of Employee Evaluation Form Bolton allegedly used for CIA agents: - (check items that apply):
-
1. "Since my last report, this employee has reached rock-bottom and has started to dig."
2. "I would not allow this employee to breed."
3. "This employee is really not so much of a has-been, but more of a definite won't be."
4. "Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap."
5. "He sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them."
6. "This employee is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot."
7. "This employee should go far, and the sooner he starts, the better."
8. "Got a full 6-pack, but lacks the plastic thingy to hold it all together."
9. "It's hard to believe he beat out 1,000,000 other sperm."
10. "The wheel is turning, but the hamster is dead."

If this is valid; Apparently The Editor is right -- It would appear that Bolton is insensitive and "does not suffer fools gladly"! Sounds like a good choice for the UN post to me!
