forced to engage in group sex

BOLTON STUFF
* "Bolton was "absent without leave," lobbying for a high level post in the second Bush administration for the past half year. And apparently that effort prevented him from doing the job he was tasked with by the President preparing for the massive Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) occurring this month in New York, according to Newsweek... And there's more. Apparently, Bolton can't take credit not only for Libya's decision to abandon its WMD program, or for the Proliferation Security Initiative." LINK

* " All these latest revelations were just more data points in the amply documented portrait of Bolton as a paranoid rogue operator who behaved as if he were dropped behind enemy lines while working in Colin Powell’s State Department, and using wired-in operatives to spy on his American bureaucratic enemies... Indeed, this kind of all-or-nothing White House fanaticism shows how terrified the administration is to lose party discipline on any single issue.
Observers say Bolton opponents scored a public and important victory in achieving such a penetrating and public investigation so far, one that revealed a startling glimpse not only into Bolton's appalling and at times almost cartoonish operating style, but a detailed look at the larger context of a Bush administration so divided on the most pressing national security matters that it was often consumed with working against itself."

* larry flynt: "Corroborated allegations that Mr. Bolton’s first wife, Christina Bolton, was forced to engage in group sex have not been refuted by the State Department despite inquires posed by Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt concerning the allegations. " LINK
i mentioned the other day that flynt is also running a 4-page 911 story in june's Hustler. remember, ftr, flynt also apparently bought the naked pix of jessica lynch - and didnt publish them

* biden and dodd speculate about filibustering bolton in the senate LINK

* Bolton Nomination Vote THURS., 10AM ET, C-SPAN3 - be there or be square

* laura rozen points to some odd shenanigans in the bolton hearings where 2 bolton folk refused to answer questions LINK - which may have something to do with this question (wrt the nsa intercepts): "Did Bolton's crew try to investigate Fulton Armstrong and/or Christian Westermann as spies for Cuba?" LINK
so little time, so much speculation.
