LOL -- BOLTON WAS "BOOED" UPON ARRIVING AT THE UN

[CatWoman]

on Olberman now :D

[deadparrot]

1. Love Keith.

:D

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

2. Hahahaa... good.

[CatWoman]

5. hahahaha

Voinovich sent him a book about etiquette :D

[progressivebydesign]

3. Apparently the rest of the world is much brighter than we are...

as a whole, of course.

[AuntiBush]

82. At least more then Half of us, anyway...

Here's hoping the world understands that more then "half of U.S." are not part of the other closed-minded sheeple-nines!

Good call, progressivebydesign!

[bloom]

91. That's why Bush* & Bolton hate them.... eom

[EC]

106. Brighter,

or better informed? Real News?

[stepnw1f]

4. Did the Reactionary Freak Spaz Out Yet?

I love the floppy hair... I can see him now... just like Hitler!

[Dudley_DUright]

6. Did they have video of that?

If so, I would love to see it.

[City Lights]

12. Yup, I saw it earlier on MSNBC.

The booing was very loud. :evilgrin:

[FreedomAngel82]

7. Hilarious!

Good! He's not going to have an easy time there like he and Bush think. This goes to show it. Clinton was the only president to be applauded by the UN. :D

[SouthernDem2004]

21. You are mistaken about the applause thing.

[Quixote1818]

31. Bolton will whip everyone into shape! He is the MAN!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

47. Can't see why they wouldn't applaud Clinton.

Links please?

(Come to think of it, can't see why they wouldn't applaud a LOT of former US presidents.)

Edit:

[SouthernDem2004]

64. Here, you can listen to it yourself....

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/09/20020912-1.html

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

69. That link is to a GWB speech link. Bzzzzt. Try again. (nt)

[SouthernDem2004]

79. Yes, He was applauded at the UN like all US Presidents. Hmmm

maybe you misunderstoond my first post. I am not saying President Clinton was not applauded. I take issue that he is the only US President to be applauded. Clear Bush was if you listen to the clip.

[dissent1977]

98. But Clinton was not the ONLY President to get applause

that is where the poster was mistaken, nobody said that Clinton did not get applauded but to suggest that he was the only President that did would be inaccurate.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

53. Still waiting for that link!

:hi:

and Newsmax won't cut it here!

[SouthernDem2004]

63. What are you talking about? This is your first post on this topic.

Sure you are on the right topic?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

71. I hired her to hold my place in the queue. (nt)

[Tsiyu]

114. Tee hee

oops....:hi: I'll be a placeholder as well. Hey, wish they had used a Taser on Bolton! Why stop at only "boos?" He is a threat to all of us. Doesn't that justify tasering?


Oops? Wrong thread.....my bad.......;)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

129. Taser on Bolton

:spray:

[Lecky]

54. Yes, I'm curious to see that link as well.

[SouthernDem2004]

65. Audio clip:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/09/20020912-1.html

[SouthernDem2004]

66. Sorry but I do not think transcript lists applause. Listen to the audio.

[Tsiyu]

117. Perhaps we are talking about the difference

between polite applause and enthusiastic applause.

Perhaps Clinton was the only Pres to be HEARTILY applauded versus any Pres who merely received a cursory hand clap or two?

[SouthernDem2004]

118. LOL, Not even going to get into applause types. Thats just silly. /nt

[Tsiyu]

119. If we're using applause to gauge reaction

and we are being completely truthful or fact-based, the type of applause a President received - whether icy and sparse or warm and vigorous - would tend to go to the statement you were challenging.

[journalist3072]

8. Is it any wonder?

I mean after all, this is the man who said it wouldn't make a bit of difference if the UN building in NY lost it's fist 10 floors!

Is it any wonder they booed him?

[Just Me]

9. He deserves no less.

The barbaric freak of human nature. :grr: When are these bastards going to prison where they belong!!! :grr:

[converted_democrat]

10. Yea, thanks for sharing!! I'm going to flip it on now. n/t

[Larkspur]

11. A sweat sound to my ears. Did Bolton hear it or did he turn a deaf ear

to the UN?

[CatWoman]

13. there was no way he couldn't hear it

he was outside the UN building, going inside the door.

there were several people booing LOUDLY :D

Bolton appeared to ignore them.

[ClayZ]

67. Bolton heard the booing.

He turned towards the boo-ers and then kept on walking.
He should be in JAIL!

What a great start to a NEW JOB.

Thank you New York Patriot boo-ers!

[fooj]

105. Hell. I thought I saw him smiling at them. He's such a prick!

Grrrrrrr...

[Dragonfli]

14. What Did You expect For This...

[1monster]

33. Oh My God! Is that photo for real??!!! What an absolutely UGLY being!

:crazy:

[Dragonfli]

36. It's his real Knuckle dragging BEING, but...

Photoshop brought it to the front for me. LOL

[Kahuna]

43. Yikes!!! Warn somebody before you post that vile pic.

:scared: Looks like Ted "Mr. Ed" Olsen. :rofl:

[Auntie Bush]

50. My God...He looks like a WALRUS! If his upper lip

looks anything like his lower lip...no wonder he has a huge mustache.
Man, that dude sure is ugly! :puke:

[stepnw1f]

51. I Am The Walrus... Coo coo cuchooo!

That photo is great!

[MaraJade]

80. Yup! Bolton should look exactly like the monster he is!

After all, that Idiot (your Village is
Calling. . .) W thinks that bullying other nations is the way to
go. Whata FOOL!

I can't wait until the other nations on the Security Council deliberately vote against us because of this gorilla.

Oops! Sorry! I just insulted gorillas. . .

[SeattleGirl]

89. "I am the walrus"

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Thanks for the pic! I just cracked up!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[merh]

15. What no flowers and chocolates?

:rofl: :rofl:

Have I mentioned how much I hate the BFEE and its minions. :argh: :nuke:

[SeanQuinn]

16. That is freaking hilarous. nt

[Erika]

17. Yet another sign of W's incompetence & arrogance

He appoints a hated neocon.

[indepat]

18. Such would make my day!

[napi21]

19. YEP! That was the opening story on Olberman tonight!

The comment was "How would you feel if you were bood on your first day on a new job?"

I LOVE it when other people demonstrate they are against Shrub's forefull decisions too!

[IChing]

20. From NZ news....

Bolton was sworn into office at the State Department and quickly went to New York to start work.

On his arrival at the US mission to the United Nations, a few streets from the UN complex in midtown New York, a handful of women booed him on the sidewalk.

He smiled, waved at them and the waiting press, saying only, "How are you?"

[yorkiemommie1]

22. har har de har har

:rofl:

[bluestateguy]

23. I'd like it better if the other ambassadors shunned him

Don't return his phone calls.

Don't invite him to cocktail parties.

Conveniently "forget" to tell him when meetings are taking place.

Don't pay attention to his ranting speeches, or just walk out of the chamber all together.

Ignore his amendments and motions on the floor.

Cut him out of the loop and make him feel invisible and irrelevant.

[Hardrada]

37. Put packets of mustard under his toilet seat

So when he sits down he will get mustars squirted on his clothes. Heh heh!

[checks-n-balances]

107. Great suggestion, but what are the chances he'd actually sit down??

sorry, I couldn't resist that question:hurts:

[arikara]

133. No no no...

cover the bowl with clear saran then it won't matter if he doesn't sit down.

[tsuki]

56. And you think that this won't happen. Oh not all the time, but enough.

[kestrel91316]

77. You get the gold star for BEST IDEA!!!!!!!!!

[MaraJade]

81. Don't worry. . .

This WILL happen. . .

[FreedomAngel82]

87. That would be nice!

:D I'd like that.

[BuelahWitch]

123. Hey! Just like they treat the Congressional Democrats!

Meaning, the Repugs do that to their Democratic counterparts in the House...

[David Zephyr]

24. So John Bolton got himself a "Baghdad Welcome" at the U.N.?

I love that term "Baghdad Welcome". I heard it on television and I can't stop using it. I think it will wind up in America's permanent vernacular.

Nominated.

[me b zola]

30. "Baghdad welcome"... I like that term

I can hear the chimp now..."The UN will view Bolton as a liberator.." :rofl:

This is the only good news of the day. I hope they metaphorically castrate Bolton, make run crying for his mummy.

[GreenPartyVoter]

40. It's a good one

[David Zephyr]

41. I think I will join you laughing, b zolza.

111. Can "Irish Confetti" be far behind?

Not that I'm advocating violence. It's the symbolism!

[wli]

25. no surprise, really

[Quixote1818]

26. Nominate this one more time to get it on the greatest page

I want anyone surfing in to see this. :rofl:

[getmeouttahere]

27. Best news I had all day!

Now if the other ambassadors do their job and ignore this fuck, then we'll really have something!

[rainman99]

29. We need a video clip! Can one of you geniuses get a clip?

[alarcojon]

62. Here

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2005/08/01.html

[Nothing Without Hope]

125. And here's the direct link to the Crooks & Liars video clip

It's in Windows Media format and is about two and a half minutes long.

28. John Bolton goes to the UN.

[Clark2008]

34. LOL!!

:rofl:

Color the 'stach white and it'd look just like him!

[Dudley_DUright]

35. Here he is outside the UN building

[Pirate Smile]

38. Darth Bolton

[otohara]

55. LOL, LOL

That's him alright

[IChing]

32. Sorry, but it said " a few woman on the street' booed him

unless, someone can find more news

[loudsue]

102. I guess you forgot....women ARE "people".....

Sorry if you don't think it counts. But some of the "boo's" I heard were a little more masculine....if that makes it any more pertinent for you.

:kick::kick::kick:

[Judi Lynn]

108. Correct.One of the enthusiastic,loudest voices I heard was a male voice.

Far, far louder than the others. Articulated well, very crisp, easily recognized "BOOOOO." MSNBC's tape, if I'm not mistaken. The women weren't alone.

[rainbow4321]

39. So what UN floors did he say needed to be chopped off the building??

That needs to be the first question his new co-workers ask him.

[Cha]

42. This is a great article by

Wayne Madsen on what will happen to bolton when he Gets to the UN..

<snip>
July 31, 2005 -- The reception John Bolton will face at the UN. The swaggering dolt in the White House believes that after he gives a recess appointment to the boorish John Bolton as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, his mustachioed gunslinger and sworn liar will go to the East River in Manhattan and shake up the international organization and kick and whip them into kow-towing to the neocon line. What Bolton doesn't realize is that he will be working and living in a virtual fish bowl. Bolton will not only be under the scrutiny of intelligence agents that at least three-quarters of the 191 members of the UN place within their missions and the UN Secretariat and specialized agencies, but also the UN staff itself, an aggressive UN press corps, and an intensely anti-Bush population of New York City and its suburbs. So, if Mr. Bolton decides to engage in the type of group sex activities he once "enjoyed" at New York's Plato's Retreat in the 1970s and 80s and the physical and mental abuse he dished out to USAID contractor Melody Townsel in Moscow and Bishkek in 1994, he will face the kind of scrutiny he's never before experienced. The Russians clearly have the goods on Bolton from his past antics in New York, Moscow, Bishkek and they will be doubly sure to have him under heavy surveillance at the UN. Ditto the Chinese, the Arabs, Cubans, Venezuelans, Brazilians, French, South and North Koreans, Germans, South Africans, Iranians, Indians, Turks, Spanish, Canadians, and others. One screw up by Bolton, one temper tantrum, one sexual indiscretion, one episode involving espionage with the intelligence service of a so-called U.S. "ally" in the Middle East, and it will be surely leaked to the UN press corps and New York's scandal-hungry media. And then Bush and Rice will have to decide if they want a discredited clown like Bolton continuing to represent the United States -- and if they do -- the American people may decide otherwise and that will hammer yet another nail in the coffin of the Bush dynasty, the Republican Party, and the neocon movement.

Bolton will be a "marked man" at the UN: Over 100 intelligence agencies, UN press, and UN staff will wait for him to screw up. And as his track record indicates, he will screw up. Bank on it.

[glitch]

57. Maybe we should start a pool - when will he throw his first tantrum?

Keep the pool simple, just the tantrum and the date.
I give him two weeks.

[Cha]

60. bolton is like Bombing Iraq..

It's started on sneaking and lies ..and nothing but misery will come from it.

[loudsue]

103. Excellent point.

Same way the bush cabal does every single thing they come up with.

Man. I REALLY want my country back!

:kick::kick::kick:

[LeftyMom]

74. Good idea, maybe a separate thread

Put me down for 6 weeks.

[glitch]

95. You're on. :)

If it's two weeks you'll owe me one :) If it's six, I'll owe you. :hi:

[raccoon]

124. Wouldn't it be nice?

Bolton having a tantrum in the UN, showing his arse in front of the whole world...metamorphosing into the werewolf that he is (like the rest of the neocons)! Let us hope this happens SOON.

[NJCher]

83. never thought of this angle--Madsen has a good point

Lots of people watching for this ape to trip up....


intensely anti-Bush population of New York City and its suburbs.

That would include me.


Cher

[anitar1]

100. Bush and Rice would see a clown as family, as they are

clowns themselves.

[Pithy Cherub]

44. The Bolton "UN Countdown Clock" should now start.

It should show every day until his "appointment" runs out. I wish the permanent staff would say , "But Mr. Ambassador you have only days left, NOT years..." :rofl:

Baghdad welcome, indeed!

[DemocracyInaction]

45. Also love the Sec. General's little "message"

He welcomed him and wanted to remind him that there are 190 other ambassadors also. In other words, "your shit does stink here buddy".

[Arugula Latte]

46. This does my heart good.

Yay, world! :applause:

[NYCGirl]

48. I'm hoping that Keith will see fit to write a "John Bolton Puppet Theater"

:evilgrin:

[ElsewheresDaughter]

49. hoooo...........

[Catherine Vincent]

52. LOL. Now that's a fat ass!

But among the boos, did you see this one woman approach him to shake his hand. I'll bet she made him feel sooooooooo good.

[NYCGirl]

58. CLARIFICATION for those who have not yet seen the clip...this didn't

happen in the UN General Assembly chambers. It was outside the building, by some New Yorkers.

[IChing]

59. I wrote about this in here also, but they are happy with the vision

[NYCGirl]

61. Then they'll be mighty disappointed when they actually see it.

Yes, I saw your thread a bit upstream, you're correct. (Although I think there were a couple of male voices in the booing, not just women.)

[Eric J in MN]

68. Thanks for explaining (nt)

nt

[etherealtruth]

70. Oh how nice, thanks for sharing

[AuntiBush]

72. I Missed it!

Good! No, Great! Wait... Spectacular!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I needed to hear some good news. Only hope the world knows not all of us support *&CO!

[Ksec]

75. I laughed my ass off when I saw that video.

Who was the person who called Bolton "human scum?" I heard it in passing but I didnt catch who said that? I also laughed when I heard that...

[lovuian]

76. This just proves Bush can do what he wants but it doesn't

mean he's going to get any respect at all from others!!!

[progressoid]

84. Oh fuck that just made my day!

[Tigress DEM]

85. Keep it up World - let them hear you!

We are sorry - again.

[Freedomfried]

86. Red state morons gonna love it

They have been so conditioned to think: UN bad

[NYCGirl]

88. He wasn't booed by people in the UN, it was people on the street outside

a building.

[Freedomfried]

90. They should of been throwing tomatoes

[geek tragedy]

122. We New Yorkers RULE! eom

[bloom]

96. They have a reason for thinking the UN is bad

and Bush mentioned it today....


UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION 3379 (XXX)

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

92. I've said it before,

unless you're a sports figure in an opposing arena, there isn't anything more powerful than a good round of boos. It's a societal statement.

Boo these people wherever you see them.

Shame them!

I like boos. :beer:

[aaronbees]

93. ...poetic justice .... eom

[Octafish]

94. BOOOOO!

He's a bum.

[Imagevision]

97. well, this is a good start for him - can't see how Bush's numbers are

going to go up with Bolton in at the UN?? I think Bolton will be just another mistake from the Bush family.

[spanone]

99. What a wonderful message we're sending out to the World....

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

[Mr_Spock]

101. Too bad someone didn't kick his sorry ass

He's just an appointed monkey - it's OK to say that right?

[jillan]

104. Well I have to add my cartoon to this thread :)

[deacon]

109. "Yosemite Sham" n/t

[magellan]

110. The first US ambassador to be sent to the UN by recess appointment.

The boos are most fitting for Bolton, whose credentials are so pathetic Bush** had to bypass his own Republican-controlled Senate to get what he wanted. Of course, being appointed by an appointed President isn't any great claim to fame either.

What a cesspool for neocon incest this once mighty nation has become with Bush** at the helm! I think I see the river Styx ahead. Oh wait, that's just the glare off the back of John Robert's head....

:evilgrin:

[Tsiyu]

112. It was music to my ears

NBC News showed the clip of Bolton getting booed last night. Not sure on ABC; CBS of course wouldn't dare....

Kudos to those who heartily booed the evil, vile Bolton. And kudoes to NBC News for airing the reality of the human reaction to scum like him. I was imagining some of the unhappy Booers were DUers!

[ElectroPrincess]

113. It was amazing that this ...

juicy little tidbit "booing Bolton" was allowed to slip through the Corporate Media filter. The CEOs probably figured that it would also serve "red meat" up to the hard core * fans. Sort of like, if those commie Democrats hate him, he must be a GOOD man. Also, my Dear Leader tells me so. :P

[Tsiyu]

116. I was amazed as well

I try to do something houseworky while flipping through the Big Three nightly newscasts. It allows me to channel my rage at dirt.

Last night, it was cleaning storm windows. And I had to stop and actually watch that clip on NBC. It sounded like at least a dozen folks close by booing loudly as he entered the building. He gave sort of a Chimpy smirk but he was clearly trying to hurry away from his detractors.

Once in a while, one of the Big Three throws us a crumb, but you may be right that this was actually NBC tossing a crumb to the Neo-Cons....

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

115. I just saw a seg on tv with the booing. Music to my ears! n/t

[Flubadubya]

120. I just saw a seg on TV with NO booing... CNN to be exact.

CNN has shown this scene over, and over, and over of him going into the building... but have maintained complete silence every time, both in the audio portion of the video AND any mention of the fact by the reporter that Bolton was booed at that time.

Good ole' MSM censorship. Leave it to CNN!!!!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

127. "Liberal" CNN, tell me it ain't so Joe! n/t

[emcguffie]

121. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the UN.

It was the airport, I think, from what I saw.

[sakabatou]

126. No one wants Bolto-hulk in the UN

[wrlwnd]

128. Any online audio or video?

Haven't found anything yet

[The Jacobin]

132. Here

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2005/08/01.html

Scroll down to find the link.

Its just a couple of people outside the building. I was hoping more for a wide shot of the General Assembly booing him at the podium.
