Bolton Brouhaha continued

The continued hearings in the Senate committee for the United Nations/ U.S. Ambassador position, meaning John Bolton's proposed nomination, are my nomination for the best drama on C-Span or any other media outlet this week.

I took the liberty, still available, of sending off a message to the White House e-mail cemetery, suggesting W reconsider this and offer another nominee. I save all the messages I compose and send there, in a separate folder, it may make good historical information in some far future, for my heirs.

I have also kept up a solid stream of messages to the senators most likely to have the deciding vote on whether this nominee makes it out of committee to the Senate floor, like Voinovich and Chafee in particular.

The R's are using their overly familiar patten of trying to turn the tables on the messenger. Like: 'Those mean and nasty Dems are just being their creative liberal selves and these new allegations do not deserve attention and consideration.'

Doesn't that just make you wonder what all there is that they are trying to protect with this tactic?

And isn't it nice that we are going to find out between now and May ninth - that's what I like about these government soap opera type scripts, can usually only last a shorter time than the fictional sort, although two terms of W may seem an eternity and the fallout will be quite different than tuning in every day to General Hospital, or As The World Turns, and I don't even know if those are still running, but I know W is, and I hope the Dems keep his feet to the fire on all these efforts to install his kingship rule over the judiciary, department of state and other targets, i.e. social security.

Tune in when the next episode is scheduled.
