news flash: Biden can be wrong...

The Democrats' top senator on foreign policy yesterday doubted whether his party has the votes to sustain the filibuster of John R. Bolton, President Bush's nominee as ambassador to the United Nations.

Democrats have held up a final vote on Mr. Bolton, demanding that the White House release documents they say will shed more light on charges that the nominee bullied subordinates at the State Department and pressured intelligence agents to bring him information that would justify the invasion of Iraq.

But Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr., Delaware Democrat and ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said on ABC's "This Week" that he doubted his anti-Bolton caucus would be able to hold together indefinitely.

Asked whether there were enough votes to keep the filibuster going, Mr. Biden said: "I don't know."

"I'm going to be completely straight with you," he said. "I'm not at all certain we do."

6. For Biden type Dems it's just another day at the office

The only thing he gets passionate about is himself, I'm afraid. And sure-he looks nice in a suit.

7. I am sure he is a very nice man, but he just isn't a leader...

9. We don't need a leader - we need someone, a servant of the people,

who is willing to work their butt off in the name of the American people, the Constitution and the country. Relentlessly.

8. "... The Democrats' top senator on foreign policy... " ????

Really? Could have fooled me! The man is a pompus ass who loves to hear the sound of his own voice.
