Thanks For Nothing, Mr. Bush
Thank you for nothing, Mr. Bush. Thank you for squandering your political capital on issues that went nowhere (Social Security), nominations that were mainly laughed at (Harriet Miers), anti-conservative big government programs (Medicare Part D), and allowing the Democrats to shape the debate on Iraq. You must realize that this has cost you credibility on both the left and the right, and allowed you to squander anything meaningful out of your second term (besides John Roberts, and the later reversal of Miers to Alito).
All of this while one of the best members of your administration is forced to resign because you have no capital left to support him in Congress. That's right, UN Ambassador John Bolton is resigning because you let scum like Lincoln Chafee block him. Bolton has proven himself a worthy UN Ambassador, and one of the few voices of reform at the corrupt-as-all-hell-yes-even-more-than-Philadelphia-city-government United Nations.
If there was any one person in the administration whose job I would save, it would be Bolton. I believe he has proved himself capable and the best person for the job. But now that Joe "Dunkin Delhi" Biden will be the head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he feels that there is “no point in considering Mr. Bolton’s nomination again.” (link). If I get the chance, I will call Biden's DC office to ask why. Here is Biden's office contact info:
