Bolton to Kucinich on Sy Hersh’s Piece: “I Don’t Have Time To Read Much Fiction” (VIDEO)



US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton testified before the House subcommittee on international relations today and got in a little argument with Rep. Dennis Kucinich. Rep. Kucinich asked John Bolton about Sy Hersh’s “New Yorker” article on Iran, to which Bolton said he didn’t read it because he doesn’t have time to read “fiction”:


KUCINICH: Have you ever heard of that report?

BOLTON: I’d never heard of the report, I never read the article, nor do I intend to.

KUCINICH: Do you have any interest as to whether or not—as the U.S. Ambassador, you don’t have any interest as to whether or not U.S. Marines are actually operating in Iran right now?

BOLTON: I said I had not heard of the report and I didn’t intend to read the article in “The New Yorker.”

KUCINICH: If I gave you this article right now, walked it over, would you look at it?

BOLTON: I don’t think so, honestly, Congressman, because I don’t have time to read much fiction.

KUCINICH: We know that U.S. Troops are in Iran. How does this affect U.N. Negotiations?

BOLTON: Congressman, you know more than I do, that’s all I can say.

8. I *do* believe you've said it all, ma'am.

I can't say you took the words right out of my mouth, because I doubt I could have come up with such effective phrasing.

:applause:

And I see "US Ambassador to UN" and John Bolton's face above it and I still don't believe it.

What a nightmare world we live in.

5. I'm surprised
Surprised Bolton didn't stick his fingers in his ears and say, "La-la-la-la-la, I can't he-e-e-e-ar you, la-la-la-la-la," that is.

What a prick. :grr:

13. Since Bolton Is A Recess Appointment...
when we take back the House and Senate, he's a goner, correct???

I believe that he only is guaranteed to serve out this congressional term. Am I right about that?

Beuller... Beuller...

14. He'll have an attitude change if Democrats take back Congress.
Contempt of Congress is just the thing for this prick. He's giving all of us the proverbial finger.

17. The Dominatored? Yikes! Post 31
Bolten should have stabbed Kooksinitch in the freakin eye with his giant pecker. When do we get to start killin these Libs? The traytors, these no nothings. These libs hurt our country by opening thier mouths and shoulld be executed for traeson. or at lest take away their rights. Why should stopid people get to vote, to speech, to talk about Jesus? Jesus would stab them all in the eye with his giant pecker. Amen.

19. What is this "giant pecker -> eyeball" fetish?
Wow. Talk about your weird-ass neuroses. That one's new to me. The "kill all traitor liberals" is old hat, but...

22. man... all of the comments...
the first one: "That guy kicks so much ass. President Bush couldn’t have picked anyone better for the job. In fact, he is in the running for the Nobel Peace Prize for uncovering Iran’s nuclear ambitions" - um, they give a Nobel Peace Prize for "starting a war based on BS"?

"If Kucinich knows that U.S. Marines are in Iran and this is secret and he’s revealing it… then he’s a traitor and should be shot." = wow. I am so confused now which secrets are ok to spill....

"That didn’t happen because of us. It happened despite us. Actually, it happened with the blessing of France and Jimmy Carter." - there's that evil France again...

37. Bolton in the news
Been hearing Bolton on the news lately, radio of course 'cause with no TV, and I'm kinda surprised that Bolton sounds like a wimp, a real wuss, all lispy-like. I don't know, guess I thought he'd sound like G. Gordan Liddy or somebody but no, he's got that bushco-pearl-william kristol neo-con priss thing going........think I prefer the nixon thugs.

Why is there a site called 'expose the left'? Why, when the real cockroaches are the right, and they scurry around when light is shined on them?

26. He should go and jump in the East River...it's right next to the UN.

...and is the only thing dirtier and slimier than Mr Bolton in NYC, so he should float to the top. Or, maybe not.

34. His time has been monopolized...
Edited on Wed May-03-06 11:21 AM by Crankie Avalon
...by all the "Letters to Penthouse" entries he reads after getting turned down and retreating to the lounges of the "swing clubs" he's known to frequent.

"Dear Penthouse, I never used to believe these letters you publish in your magazine, until one day it happened to me..."

Yeah, no time for "fiction," at all. :eyes:

Get pissed, and defiant. Can't wait until you shit-heads lose it en masse and start telling our elected reps to fuck off.

Go on Bolton, tell em' how you really feel.

These assholes are losing it. :bounce:

Denis Kucinich DOES know more than he does, but not in the way he meant.
