Bush's Team of Miscreants

02.03.2006"Suzanne Nossel's post about how they are boltin' from Bolton meetings at the UN, with a link to some amusing commentary on the Mustachioed One by the UN ambassadors of the other permanent members of the Security Council reminds me of my own prediction eleven months ago. I tried to look on the bright side of a Bolton UN appointment, as with the Negroponte and Wolfowitz appointments to Intel Czar and World Bank president, respectively.
At the time, I thought, "It is sheer genius to send Bolton the Unbearable to the UN - where he will be sabotaged every moment, in a million invisible ways, even as he sleeps. More importantly, Bolton as influential neocon is done for by the very irrelevance of the UN to Bush policy development."
And this too: "Consider the coming Goss-Negroponte festival of bloody backstabbing, the immense financial catastrophe waiting like smoldering coals for the blast of hot air that is Paul Wolfowitz, and the irrelevant-by-definition United Nations serving the far higher purpose of driving an already marginally sane John Bolton into muttering madness."
I don't often get it right -- but I think perhaps I was close on the Goss/Negroponte political ruination of what was left of our intelligence community capabilities -- I mean, Condi, Goss and Negroponte had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA that Hamas would win the Palestinian election, none at all! And I may have been right on Bolton the Useless. We will have to wait for an explosion at the World Bank -- and dear readers, I mean that figuratively, not literally. Unlike Ann Coulter who recently "jokingly" advocated rat poison be placed in a certain Supreme Court Judge's creme brulee, I am not on the side of all that is holy in our empire and therefore would face severe and immediate punishment under 18 USC, Section 115.
