Yikes - talk about a frightening mutant. But that's what Laura Rozen labels likely UN Ambassador Bolton given his comments on Kosovo and Somalia. But what really takes my breath away is the story by Jason Vest that she links to. I didn't think my opinion of Bolton could fall any further. I can't think of a single position in any level of government that I think he should be entrusted with. But it turns out he's even more egregious than I thought. Out of that story Rozen highlights Bolton's attempts to get someone fired for daring to take maternity leave. But read the whole thing. It's filled with a bill of particulars that illustrate a pretty grotesquely warped individual with political views than cavemen could relate to. I mean there are already a host of reasons to oppose him. I haven't seen any evidence that he'd be even a passably effective diplomat and in his current brief he's done an absolutely terrible job. But it's amazing how every time you turn a corner the guy becomes ever more appalling. This nominee unqualified ... but so much more! This should trouble us all, but then he's brought to us by the same guy who brought us Bernie Kerik, so sadly it's not all that surprising.
