More bad mustaches in the news: Bolton may be planning a presidential run in 2012

Could John Bolton -- the former Bush-era Ambassador to the United Nations and permanent cheerleader for bombing Iran -- run for president? Or does he just long for attention?

During recent appearances on Fox News, Bolton has been asked whether he would run for president. "Well, you know it's a great honor when people ask me that question, and I have been asked that question," Bolton said on Wednesday. "I don't think anybody involved with politics should worry about that until after the elections this fall."

He also said: "I'm not saying no. That's right."

As Chris Matthews said today: "Ha! Well I hope he runs -- to remind the country of what everybody voted against in 2006 and 2008, and the ideology that led us into attacking a country that never attacked us, an ideology that wants to make some sort of permanent garrison in the Middle East."

A Bolton presidential bid would be interesting, but the man would certainly run into some serious scrutiny about the cost of his foreign policy proposals. For example, how would we pay for bombing almost every country on the face of the planet and cut taxes and reduce the deficit?

Actually it was a mistake. I corrected it.

[Arkana]

3. President of what?

[FSogol]

4. Don't most people who run for President have some sort of charisma?

I wouldn't trust Bolton with the responsibilities of a school janitor.

[napi21]

5. Ohhh, I hope he does! I can't wait to see him torn to shreds

by every interviewer!

[spanone]

[Lil Missy]

[Vickers]

[Canuckistanian]

19. The Cookieduster Collective

Would be a good name for that ticket.

[geardaddy]

28. lol!

Good one!

[arbusto_baboso]

15. Lock up Bolton. he is a danger to himself and others.

he is obviously schizophrenic with delusions of grandeur, not to mention adequacy.

Yes, I joke about this, but I'm serious. If he thinks he has a snowball's chance of EVER being president, then he is truly bathsit insane.

[Swamp Rat]

16. goo goo g'joob!

[BurtWorm]

24. He'll be running on the Bull Walrus ticket.

Sort of a TR thing to do. (Except he probably thinks TR was a disgusting pinko.)

[NC_Nurse]

17. LOL. Now THAT is amusing.

Delusional, but amusing.

[liberal N proud]

20. If he is involved in the election in any way you can count on criminal activities

being part of the process.

[BrklynLiberal]

21. LOL. Every time I see him, I think of Pops...from Sesame Street.

[SDuderstadt]

23. Why in the world does John Bolton...

believe he should be president?

[arbusto_baboso]

26. Why does he believe he ever COULD be President?

Ain't happening. Not in this reality, or most of the parallel ones.

[Rex]

27. Turds like Bolton never sink, they always float hoping someone

will see them. Sadly for him, most people see Bolton as a miserable failure.
