Mr. Bolton’s excuse that he “didn’t recall being interviewed by the State Department’s Inspector General” is simply not believable.

Sure it is.

Anything more?

ìBut what the hell is with all the so-called “moderates”, such as Nelson and Byrd, Salazar and Liberman, the other Nelson from Florida…î

I have to laugh every time someone calls Robert Byrd a moderate.

The ‘moderates’ are obviously being intimidated by the leftists who actually hold the power in the Democratic Party.—DT

Hmmm. Are they then not actually worse than the delusional ‘true believers’? Seeing and knowing that something is totally screwed up and deliberately deciding not only to do NOTHING, but indeed to actively contribute to the disaster is indefensible.

Nancy Pelosi has the benefit of being a clueless and partisan loon. What exactly is Hillary’s excuse ?

In my very jaundiced view, searching for ‘moderates’ in the current Democratic Party is akin to searching for ‘moderate’ Muslims in Saudi Arabia. Very labour intensive and ultimately not very satisfying.

Mr.Lieberman is a true glutton for punishment, but every day that he ’supports’ the current status he loses just a little more dignity. Sad really.

Yeah, Peter, I know about the greenhouse thing (thus the “too humid?” comment–I’m not a complete provincial, ya know). That’s you English all right, ever practical.

Kyda,

Here a conservatory is also a large greenhouse structure where one can sit in semi-arborial splendour.Besides the parakeets are allergic to cordite.More a practical thing really and there should be at least one smoke free space in the house.

…the pearl handled revolver is never kept in the conservatory.

Why is that? Some sort of English etiquette thing? Too humid? Guns and music don’t mix?

Bolton–recess appointment–early next week. Dubya says “bite me”.

Told ‘ya we shoulda sprung for the chia.

Gentlefolks,

The whole Bolton kerfuffle is a personal vendetta by Christopher Dodd (D-CT). The politics of the Northeast are particularly unseemly.

Lola,

Even if Bolton is not recess appointed (and I think he will be) we’ll have an envoy in the chair to ‘just say no’ to Don Kofi and his posse. I hope that Coleman takes up Hyde’s bill in early September and makes a push to get it passed prior to the Kofi clatch.

The Donks can bray ’til their tails fall off but this caravan just keeps on moving.
