The World Will Be Better
Least. Threatening. Threat. Ever.
Yesterday, the Drudge Report revealed that the New York Times had rejected a draft op-ed by Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), which rebutted an earlier one by Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL)....
Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton: "For them to say that to - - the Republican presidential nominee is offensive." [Hannity and Colmes, 7/21/08]
Bolton also said that he “may never publish another op-ed in ‘The New York Times’ after this.”
Damn you NY Times!
Damn you!

I must have missed the part where the NY Times is clamoring for one of his pearls.

Probably doing McCain and themselves a favour.
Maybe Bolton will start a blog!

What will it take to make sure he never writes anything, or utters another syllable, again, ever?

That just preempts comment. I will never be able to snark well enough to deal with a statement like that.

Please, God, please make it true. If you throw in Bolton entering a hermitage, I'll even do a Hail Mary.

I like Steve M's take.
The NYT kept McCain from embarrassing himself on this one, and threw him a fat, slow pitch with which to work the refs/ rally his base with "liberal media" B.S.
Nice work, Times.

Piece of advice for Bolton: When throwing a temper tantrum, don't kick your feet while holding your breath. You can hold out a lot longer by just lying quietly.

Saw Bolton scurrying about mid-town Manhattan one day a few years ago. He is very small and twitchy and reminded me of those rats you see if you stand up at the front of the Staten Island Ferry and stare down into the bulkhead as the ferry glides in to dock.

Is that a promise?

It's a Republican promise.

Will he also stop appearing in old Warner Bros. cartoons and hollering "Ah hates rabbits" at Bugs Bunny?

Now if Bill Kristol would take equal umbrage, we might be getting somewhere.

Gee, the first draft of an op-ed is rejected....wow...when did the GOP lose their testicles?

O no, without Captain Kangaragnarok writing in the NYT, how will we know the only solution to every diplomatic issue is to blow up some brown people?

Did Bolton pattern his tres sexy "look" after the Walrus or Yosemite Sam? I can't figure it out.

If Jay B. doesn't win a Peabody, Vincent D'Onofrio can just forget about my sweet ass.

OK, that was funny.

Funny? It's fucking hilarious. That, and I like how Cid uses the 'O!' form on occasion. Makes you feel like you're in a Trollope novel.
