"Frist has acknowledged there's nothing more he can do on Bolton"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

Just now, on Air America's news break (so there is no link):

Bush can withdraw the nomination, which the White House has said he won't do, or make a recess appointment, which the GOP doesn't want him to do, because they want Bush to "fight" for the nomination.

:toast:

Bush...he's a FIGHTER!

1. An unmitigated moron

He'll do whatever he has to to push that piece-of-crap Bolton through.

:spank:

From the movie Being There

"...no brains at all. Stuffed with rice pudding between th' ears. Shortchanged by the Lord, and dumb as a jackass. Look at him now! Yes, sir, all you've gotta be is white in America, to get whatever you want."

2. I hope the rest of the world knows....

that the Dems are fighting to keep this guy out of the UN, so that if he gets in via a recess appointment that at least there is some acknowledgement of our attempts to do the right thing. We may not be able to save the US from BushCo, but we can certainly try to do everything we can to prevent them from further damaging the rest of the world.

3. Question....

Who were the eight republican senators that weren't there to vote yesterday?

6. Frist Flip-Flops on Bolton Vote

Frist Flip-Flops on Bolton Vote
21 June 2005


After meeting with Bush earlier today, Frist has flip-floped on the Bolton vote.

Reversing field after a meeting with President Bush, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said he will continue pushing for a floor vote on John R. Bolton for U.N. ambassador. Frist switched his position after initially saying Tuesday that negotiations with Democrats to get a vote on Bolton had been exhausted.

Earlier today he said he would not pursue a further vote on the floor.

Just over an hour earlier, Frist said he wouldn't schedule another vote on Bolton's nomination and said that Bush must decide the next move. Frist, R-Tenn., had said there was nothing further he could do to break a Democratic stalemate with the Bush White House over Bolton, an outspoken conservative who, opponents argue, would undermine U.S. interests at the world body.
