John Bolton - Diplomat or Twisted Freak?
John Bolten, Bush's nominee for U.N Ambassador gets the U.N. Security Council mixed up with an S&M chamber.
The idea that somehow that just getting on the agenda of the security council is the equivilent to a form of punishment is really quite outlandish. We're talking about discussions in the Security Council chamber not the Star Chamber. We don't have whips and chains around the side of it. We don't have permanent representatives streched out on racks. We don't have thumbscrews for foreign ministers. We're talking about the Security Council.
Not only will the televised Security Council meetings be a little zippier and entertaining, but as Atrios points out, having this twisted fellow as Ambassador to the U.N. might make Bush's agenda a little harder come by, which is a good thing.
UPDATE: Here's a text-based article that has the same quote from the Washington Times
