Fox's Neil Cavuto: "Even critics would agree that John Bolton has done a pretty remarkable job"

[Human Torch]

Disrespecting John Bolton

Monday, November 13, 2006

By Neil Cavuto

What they're doing to John Bolton isn't right, isn't fair and isn't even decent. This man, who even critics would agree has done a pretty remarkable job as our United Nations ambassador, is now all but certain to be leaving as our United Nations ambassador. In the middle of a delicate global debate on what to do about North Korea, what to do about Iran and what to do about Venezuela? But it's not those countries that are putting him in this tenuous position. It's our country, our leaders and a newly emboldened Democratic Congress that wants him out just to make a political point.

Never mind Bolton has navigated these delicate global crises, all the while successfully navigating Guatemala as a compromise candidate to Venezuela on the U.N. Security Council. And for that, not a thank you — more like a screw you — not from Hugo Chavez, but yesterday, Joe Biden. Without even the dignity of an up or down vote. I think he'd win that vote, but he won't be given the chance.

So the very Congress that talks up hearing from all sides, won't even give this man the decency of their vote... yea or nay.

It's embarrassing. It's humiliating. It's politics. Play these games with nefarious leaders from rogue nations who deserve them. Not with a guy who's been going 24/7 trying to keep us safe and who does not. They once said that John Bolton would be like a bull in a china shop. Pity that no one mentioned the even bigger bull, in our own Capitol.

:cry:

1. Uh, no. Bolton is primeval ooze.

Eventually he will become an oil slick.

2. Who or what is Neil Cavuto and why should we care what he thinks?

I don't do Faux.... so I have no clue who the scumbag is.

Sorry. Mustache man is on his way out.

[Vexatious Ape]

3. Ass carrots like Cavuto give even Fox a bad name.

Is that possible?

[Sherman A1]

4. I believe that Mr. Cavuto

may find some difference of opinion within the country, but I could be wrong.

5. By all accounts...diplomacy isn't his strong suit

All I ever heard about him by his friends was that he was a "highway/my way" kind of guy. Hard to get along with and uncompromising.

That and the fact that we don't talk to Iran, Syria, Hezbola, N Korea, Hamas, or Palestine, should make his job as diplomat a snap.

6. These Fox "news" turds are just amazing in their BS.

I just flipped past Fox and O'Liely was telling this woman, who was talking about how the Government should favor Science over Religion, that her view and opinion made her a Bigot against closed minded Christians (my summery, not his, but he did call her a Bigot).

7. Sorry Neil, a majority of the majority has to approve before it gets to a vote

Does that sound familiar? Ooooo, don't like it now, do we? Boo hoo, guess it sucks to be you.

:nopity:

8. yeah, Bush to has done a pretty "remarkable" job

pretty darn remarkable.

[Robeson]

9. FOX News = Völkischer Beobachter...

...as we all know, it's nothing but a propaganda outlet.

10. A pretty remarkable job at what?

He sure as hell has been one horrible UN ambassador.

11. "Guatemala as a compromise candidate to Venezuela on the U.N. Security Council??"

Uh, Neil, here's a flash: the compromise candidate was Panama. And it was brokered by Ecuador's foreign minister.
