From Phil Brennan’s column on the Bolton/UN frcas:
How could he have done it, they cried. He’s damaged goods, shrieked Senator Dodd, a claim echoed by other members of the loony left now slinking around Capitol Hill muttering about how unfair it is for the party that by the will of the people expressed at the polls now controls the White House and both houses of Congress to dare to exercise that control. They call that an abuse of power.
Damaged goods? If John Bolton is damaged goods, these galloots are the ones who have done the damaging with their unfounded accusations and outright falsehoods and slanders about one of the finest American public servants around today. For them to complain about Bolton being damaged goods is like a new car owner hammering dents all over his vehicle and then taking it back to the dealer and claiming that it is … damaged goods.
This idiocy was echoed by the Democrats’ chief loon in the Senate, Democratic leader Harry Reid, who also had the gall to describe Bolton as a “seriously flawed and weakened candidate.”
Other members of the Senate’s crazed cabal complained that Bolton lacked credibility because he had not been confirmed by the Senate, ignoring the fact that it is conceded that had his nomination been allowed to come up for a vote he would have easily won confirmation.
According to President Bush, Bolton’s nomination had been supported by a majority of the Senate but that “because of partisan delaying tactics by a handful of senators, John was unfairly denied the up-or-down vote that he deserves.”
"“They hate John Bolton. He’s the antithesis of everything they hold dear, and the sovereignty of the United States is not part of it. After all, these people swoon with ecstasy every time some idiots in black robes on the Supreme Court base a decision on what foreign nations believe to be right and just. To hell with the Constitution of the United States. It’s foreign opinion that matters.”
When Bolton told The New Republic’s Lawrence Kaplan, “I am pro-American – that means defending American interests as vigorously as possible and seeing yourself as an advocate for the U.S. rather than as a guardian of the world itself,” he frightened the hell out of the loony U.N.-worshipping left. The thought that the president wanted to send Dirty Harry instead of Mortimer Snerd to the corrupt, scandal-ridden, child-molesting U.N. drove them up the wall…"
