#1 Contempt is hardly the right word. UN's transnational positivism is dangerous. It would've been dangerous even in the absence of external enemy (Islam). In the presence of external enemy it's intolerable.

#2 Now, if Bush could get Rush Limbaugh to run NPR, we'd really have something. :o)

#3 I thought this was the most revealing and astounding sentence in the article:

All the remarkable developments that have taken place lately, especially in the Middle East, mayÃ¢â¬âin some cases, certainly willÃ¢â¬âhave to be settled at the U.N. Security Council.

This is the whole difference between Kaplanite one worlders and Boltonite real worlders; when was anything of importance ever settled at the U. N.?

#4 Bolton at the UN? Ha! That's great. Almost as good as sending Jesse Helms.

#5 I have contempt for the UN and I'm proud of it.

#6 There could be no clearer sign that the contempt for the international organization, which was such a prominent feature of Bush's first term, will extend into his second term with still greater force and eloquence.

Richly deserved contempt, and the UN is welcome to it.

#7 I would prefer that Michael Savage run NPR.

#8 I like that idea. Michael Savage and Leann Hanson on Sunday mornings. Wouldn't be hard to wake up, no matter how late you stayed out.

#9 Man I would have liked to see him appoint Mike Savage to the un! The Dips would be scurrying under their desks when he came in. Another good choice would be Ann Coulter. She would give memorable speeches on un day! Also their veto vote would come with long vitriolic speeches on how irrelevant they really are.

#10 Another good choice would be Ann Coulter.

Sarge, you rascal! Leather miniskirts to offend the Islamonuttz, and keep everyone else's attention! She'll offend the others when she makes her speech, and shows common sense.

#11 I've been paying pretty close attention to the U.N. for upwards of forty years now, and I'm trying to recall even a single instance-- anything, anywhere, no matter how minor, even-- that's made me think "thank God for the U.N." or "boy, we'd be in really deep shit now if it weren't for the U.N." or something even remotely resembling such sentiments.

I've been REALLY wracking my brain over this-- but I'm drawing a complete, utter blank.

#12 Dave, I've thought of one: if it weren't for the United Nations we'd have to rewrite the lyrics to Summertime Blues":

Sometime I wonder
What I'm gonnna do
There ain't no cure
For the summertime blues

Gonna save two weeks
Gonna have a fine vacation
Gonna take my problem
To the U-nited Nations

#14 Sending R. Lee Ermey or Dennis Miller would be clear contempt. Sending Bolton is mere displeasure.

#15 No, sending Paul Reubens would be a sign of contempt. Especially if he was required to be in character.

#16 Looks like it's "Two for One Day". Piss off the Norkies too...

In July 2003, during the run up to the six-nation talks with North Korea, Bolton described Korean head of state Kim Jong Il as a "tyrannical dictator" of a country where "life is a hellish nightmare." North Korea responded by saying that "such human scum and bloodsucker is not entitled to take part in the talks. ... We have decided not to consider him as an official of the U.S. administration any longer nor to deal with."

#17 If there was ever someone cut out for the UN it was Sam Kinnison. Perfect for the job. In his absence, I'll take Kid Rock.

#18 Then again..looks like Bolton is off to great start!

#19 I don't see it, #15 Robert. If he were in character, he'd fit right in there.

#20 Mike Savage? You're joking right. The guys so out there I'm convinced he's just a leftie intent on making conservatives look bad.

#25 I understand that if he is acquitted, Michael Jackson will go on an international tour, visiting UN Peacekeeping missions.

#27 DMFD - Michelle as head as the INS - That would be a damn good move.

Either that or as head of that Sky Marshalls (you know the ones who always have to walk past the security checkpoint (in front of all the terrorists) and has to dress in a white shirt, blazer, and tie (with a big 'KILL ME FIRST' sign on the back).
