Bolton claims NY cabbies say he's doing a great job.
:eyes:

(But you should read what other ambassadors say about him...)

Bolton is unapologetic, and relishes his role as an outsider. He told reporters last month that New Yorkers frequently cheer him on as he walks to the U.S. mission to the UN from his residence in the Waldorf Towers. ```Hey Ambassador Bolton, you're doing a great job,''' Bolton said taxi drivers and people on the street say. ```Give 'em hell.'''

1. Is he sure they're not saying "GO to hell"?
Cause that's what I'd be saying if I saw him.

17. Quoted For Truth by another cabbie
Sorry Johnny, we'll say almost anything for a good tip.

I'd like to add that sometimes we'll hold our tongues for a good tip as well.

So if I don't debate you on your self-aggrandizing, it's not that I don't think you're wrong (believe me I do), it's easier (and financially rewarding) not to.

That's not to say that ALL riders are assholes... it's a small but very vocal percentage. Most people are just trying to get from point A to point B safely and efficiently.

To my fellow drivers, be careful out there. There are a lot of bad drivers on the road.

6. Well unfortunately for mustache man it is the Senate, not the NY cabbies
who must ratify his nomination, according to the Constitution, anyway. I know, the idea of following the Constitution is almost as quaint as following the Geneva Convention to this crowd.

7. There's one of them thar scientific type polls
What an idiot. This moron is making international relations ever harder, then he whines when they slap back. He needs a nice long filibuster. Or a smack on the nose. Or both.

15. I claim that he has a major toupee, but my wife says that she can't tell.
Number one clue is that mustache --- how can a person have a mustache so gray or white with no manifestation of his age reflected in his hair? And his part is so deep into his head that the other side of his forehead should be slick bald. I'm telling my wife that he has a huge helmet of fake hair.
