loud and proud

BOLTON STUFF
* "Danielle Pletka is married to Stephen Rademaker, Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control. Rademaker reports directly to John Bolton and is cut from the same ideological cloth as Bolton." LINK

* "But at this time when the hyper-conservative John Bolton was developing his political base, he was also allegedly involved in somewhat risque private behavior -- that I hesitate to say more about here. Those close to his former wife have alluded to it, and I believe that the Morally Intolerant Right Wing of the Republican circuit that is now pushing hard for John Bolton would back off if details of Bolton's off-line behavior that involved his then wife were known... The media should investigate questions about his first wife, their marriage, and what some of their friends consider to be quite cruel treatment by him of their relationship." LINK
i hope frist comes out and supports bolton loudly :-)

* the interesting thing is that if bolton doesnt get SFRC approval, and the repugs force it to the senate anyway... what then? the dems filibuster the nomination - and then frist has to decide whether he already breaks his promise to only go nucular on judicial noms... LINK

* bolton also lied about sudans nbc efforts. he truly is a one trick pony. LINK
separately, the sudan story seems to be heating up - i have never discussed darfur cos i couldnt get my head around it - but theres some weird stuff happening on that front.
