Kirkpatrick Dies; DUmp shows inhumanity

Admittedly, it's a bit more mild than some of the other dead Republican threads, but this one still has some cruel posts:

IF, there is a heaven, I wonder if the lady will have some explaining to do about her PNAC affilliation and Neo-con beliefs.

7. Bolton was on teevee crying. Wish I could.
Wish I felt the loss of an admirable statesperson.

But she wasn't and I can't feel anything but good riddance.

Bush accepts Bolton's U.N. resignation

From AP/Yahoo:

WASHINGTON - Unable to win Senate confirmation, U.N. Ambassador John Bolton will step down when his temporary appointment expires within weeks, the White House said Monday.



Bolton's nomination has languished in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for more than a year, blocked by Democrats and several Republicans. Sen. Lincoln Chafee (news, bio, voting record), a moderate Republican who lost in the midterm elections Nov. 7 that swept Democrats to power in both houses of Congress, was adamantly opposed to Bolton.

All this nonsense about a "do nothing" Congress was utter hypocrisy. It's kind of hard to do anything when a minority of senators are able to block any effort to do anything.
