"Mr. Bolton chased me through the halls of a Russian hotel"

[Oilwellian]

"Mr. Bolton proceeded to chase me through the halls of a Russian hotel -- throwing things at me, shoving threatening letters under my door and, generally, behaving like a madman."

Last night, a woman named Melody Townsel came on the show to tell Sam a personal story of her bizarre and harassing run-in with John Bolton, George Bush's nominee to be U.N. Ambassador. The run-in took place in 1994, when Bolton worked for a private law firm. Melody has spoken with minority council to the Foreign Relations Committee, and may be called to testify next week. She suspects, unfortunately, that her expirience with John Bolton may not be unique.

Her tale was written up by a friend as a dailykos.com diary, where you can read the full text of her letter the the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. That can be found here.

3. Is That Enough for HAGEL to Vote "No"?

He told Leslie today he would vote YES "unless something ELSE comes up".

4. Unbelievable! Bolton's should go down.

The man is NUTS! But, of course, this regime seems to support this personality type. "Hitler-esque."
