Bolton: Clarence Thomas redux
Based on the emails I get from those who disagree with the worldview of The Pondersa (why can't these people POST so the whole Blogosphere can enjoy their dementia?) many of you are too young to remember when, nearly 15 years ago, the Democrat Party unleashed a pre-emptive attack on Clarence Thomas, a highly qualified, BLACK CONSERVATIVE (that was his crime) judge nominated for the Supreme Court by G.H.W. Bush. The assault was highlighted by unsubstantiated charges from a flaky female subordinate, Anita Hill. The charges, even if accurate, hardly amounted to "sexual harassment". "There is a pubic hair on my Coke can" is a far cry from "Kiss it, kiss it" (as Paula Jones alleges Gov. Clinton urged her).
Such is the case again with John Bolton, the President's nominee to babysit the UN. Were all the charges leveled against him true, he would be guilty only of demanding competence from incompetents, including the anti-Bush activist Melody Townsel (see Rich Lowry's pieces below).
What is really at stake here is what was decided in the 2004 election -- the direction and focus of American foreign policy. Bolton will act as the U.S. Ambassador to the UN rather than vice versa. The "loyal" oppositon prefers the latter.
It is our hope that the effete GOP leadership in the Senate will find some testosterone before another quality public servant falls victim to the predations of the likes of the loathesome, bloated Chris Dodd, who hilariously referred to the charges as "indictable". Wonder what charges he thinks his fellow bulbous partner in slime Ted Kennedy should face ...
The UN is a corrupt, inept cabal in need of adult supervision. Bolton is more than up to the task, even if it means putting his hands on his hips and tossing a folder at Kofi "He's my son but I had no idea" Annan.
Thomas has gone on to become one of the two top justices -- along with Scalia-- on the Court. He has failed to "grow" in the job, as so many do once they discover allure of the Georgetown cocktail party crowd. We are confident Bolton will be able to do the same when forced to choose between the best interests of his nation and invitations to swanky Manhattan saturnalias.
