Remember Iran-Contra?? John Bolton has made a career out of defying Congress. During the Iran-Contra investigations, John Bolton refused to comply with Congessional demands for records. Bolton also believed that the Independent Counsel law was unconstitutional and did everything he could do preempt Congress’s efforts to investigate Iran-Contra.

It’s all over the news, but let me add my own piece on the 59 former American diplomats who have written to Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Richard Lugar to say that the choice of John Bolton could not be more wrong for America’s perch in the U.N.

After the election, I explained the outcome of the Bush-Kerry presidential race in part in the language of a vulgar but brilliant movie that had then been released, Team America: World Police. The favorite line of the terrorist-tracking U.S.

Michael Roston demystifies the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) that John Bolton considers to be one of his strong suits in his upcoming April 7th UN Ambassadorship Confirmation Hearings.

Haley Barbour established the non-profit National Policy Forum as a sham think tank — really designed to raise funds, organize and mobilize political donors and feed them programs and activities that pushed the agenda of the Republican National Committee. Michael Baroody quit the organization because he knew Barbour’s scheme was wrong.

I have a very dear third cousin whose name is Jess. We actually met via the Internet because various mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law (actually my grandmother and great-grandmother) managed to stop spending much cooperative time together and separated parts of our family.

Watch the Video Clip — to the end. Wait for John Bolton’s own version of a “Dean Scream” about the United Nations. You’ll either love him or “really dislike” his views. After watching the video, lots do like him.

Simply showing the rest of the world — particularly the Muslim world — that America holds accountable in this country those who commit heinous international crimes would do more to restore faith in this country than just about anything. The absence of accountability in the scandal of tortured and murdered prisoners is really beyond belief….

I have been on the phone for days talking to people who have been wronged by John Bolton for this or that. Bolton has a lot of enemies that he has built up over the years for hack jobs he did on them while at the Justice Department or in his many other roles.

John Bolton’s confirmation hearings are officially set at 9:30 a.m., Thursay, 7 April, 216 Hart Senate Office Building. See you there.
