1. I'm watching - same ol, same ol. Democrats are to blame
that Bolton didn't get an up or down vote. Playing politics, yadda, yadda, yadda. Snotty Scotty sounds like a Chatty Cathy doll - just pull his string and you get the same 4-5 lame messages.

Blowing off any questions. Just falling back on blame the Democrats.

5. Would Pres. like to overtun Roe v. Wade and stem cell research...
no "litmus test" for nominations....stem cell research: believes maintaning higher ethical standard involving tax payer dollars...

3. And it took Carl Cameron, Fox News, to bring up Voinovich's opposition!
Scotty just said they had kept in touch with him, and informed him of their decision to recess Bolton this morning...yadda, yadda, yadda.

8. Statement from Voinovich
he fell in line, more or less:

''I am truly concerned that a recess appointment will only add to John Bolton's baggage and his lack of credibility with the United Nations. That said, the president has made this decision, and I will do everything in my power to support Mr. Bolton as he takes this new position.'' -- Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio

4. No way
I just can't watch Simple Scotty, my head will explode. Some people have said they can't watch Bush, but I can tolerate Bush better than that quacker.

9. No
I have to wait until my ss check comes in because I am out of my nerve pills. I would be so mad that I would start shaking and I wouldn't be able to stop.
