Reactions to Bolton's recess appointment





"At a time when we need to reassert our diplomatic power in the world, President Bush has decided to send a seriously flawed and weakened candidate to the United Nations. It's an unnecessary result, and the latest abuse of power by the Bush White House. ... Bolton arrives at the United Nations with a cloud hanging over his head." _ Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.



Gee, Mr. Reid, why didn't you vote against him, then? Oh, that's right, your party is doing everything it can to keep him from getting a vote on the floor of the senate, and you're orchestrating the obstruction. Something having to do with the majority of the senate disagreeing with you? Just keep it from coming to a vote and you can pretend your serving the interests of the country instead of playing politics.



But Teddy Kennedy takes the Moonbat cake today:





"The abuse of power and the cloak of secrecy from the White House continues. ... It's a devious maneuver that evades the constitutional requirement of Senate consent and only further darkens the cloud over Mr. Bolton's credibility at the U.N." _ Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass



What Teddy, couldn't bother to emerge from stupor long enough to figure out that the President nominated him five months ago? That evidently your staff has been keeping him filibustered without your knowledge? Thus sayeth the Senate's resident expert on devious manouvers and darkening clouds on credibility. (Mary Jo Kopechne could not be reached for comment).

Of course, the electorally unendangered Lesser California Moonbat has to chime in:



"John Bolton has placed his faith in a unilateral, go-it-alone foreign policy that has stretched our military thin, and I believe his inability to be an effective and constructive ambassador could produce dire consequences for American foreign policy." _Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.



As opposed to our great foreign policy successes during the accomodationist years like Rwanda, Bosnia, Somalia...



After all the failures of the accomodationists to make the UN into a better organization, it's time to give someone with a different philosophy a chance. It's not like they can do much worse.



UPDATE: Decision '08 has evidence on lesser-known left wing heads exploding!
