Oh, come on! Leave it to George W. to nominate Michael Bolton as ambasador to the UN.

Here’s a quote from Condi Rice’s announcement:

President Bush thinks Mr. Bolton is the right man at the right time for this job. It’d be un-American to question this decision during our war in Iraq.

President Bush told journalist during a press conference:

Lara’s a big fan of Mr. Bolton. I just think if we could get, if he would just break out in song during one of those long, boring meetings, man, that would be powerful. Who wouldn’t want to jump up for our side then.
