He does what he feels he must do and screw his opposition, their half baked criticism doesn't shake him in the least. I love watching his expressions when he talks about stuff he's doing that will piss off liberals, there's always this subtle smile on his lips that lets us know he's doing something that'll heat the bastards up a mite. When he announced his appointment of Bolton to the UN and gave his excellent reasons for doing so, that smile was there and it's great: It's all he gives the Dems, enough to rattle THEIR cage, otherwise he's totally cool on the job, while the lefties have to shriek to try to make themselves heard. I could watch Bush speeches all day and have a great time knowing that this guy is MY President.

What exactly did these folks expect? They claim that the FILIBUSTER is their constitutional right - a phrase they throw around quite loosely. But when President Bush, who has tried to play nice-nice with these heel-nipping Democrats for nearly half a year JUST TO GET AN UP-OR-DOWN VOTE, then decides to exercise HIS constitutional privilege as President? Watch out - because THAT is simply NOT FAIR! Sen. Christopher Dodd predicted Bolton's credibility at the world body would be damaged by the recess appointment, since Bush was unable to get the nomination through the Senate. Wait a second...should we not then reassemble the Senate and take a vote? Guess who would win THAT little contest? Ted Kennedy was, arguably (and predictably) the most vocal about this appointment, decrying Bush's tactics. What is NOT being widely reported is that Teddy has been a staunch SUPPORTER of the up-or-down vote in years past (when the Dems held majority, of course). Also, it was his own brother, President John F. Kennedy, who used this same tactic to appoint Thurgood Marshall to the SUPREME COURT during a senate recess...a maneuver that even President Bush would not contemplate (or he might have done that with his current nominee). Democrats are echoing the charge from these Senate Democrats about how the White House refused to turn over a) communications records Bolton had sought from the National Security Agency while performing his job at State, and b) records of testimony from 2003 referencing Syrian weapons programs. President Bush, like many of his predecessors, exercised "executive privilege." This is not only perfectly legal, but common. The president identified this, correctly I think, as mere stall tactics employed by the most cagey and uncooperative sitting U.S. Senate minority party in living memory. SO we have Ambassador Bolton until January 2007...a strong presence in the corrupt and chaotic United Nations, while otherwise we would have had no official ambassadorial representation until AFTER the silly minority came back to work in the Senate. :cry:And the Liberal whining continues….

It's pitiful material, but funny nonetheless if you go in for amusement based on the exploitation of total morons like the boneheads on Street Smarts, the airheads Jay Leno interviews on the street, or our own empty-headed, anti-American left.
