Reason and Radical

Hey World -- F*ck You!

Bush has named John Bolton as the U.S. ambassador to the UN -- the guy who said this:

At a 1994 panel discussion sponsored by the World Federalist Association Bolton claimed "there's no such thing as the United Nations," and stated ''if the UN secretary building in New York lost 10 stories, it wouldn't make a bit of
difference.''

And the guy who did dirty work for Jesse Helms:

Sen. Jesse Helms on John Bolton: "John Bolton is the kind of man with whom I would want to stand at Armageddon." Speech at American Enterprise Institute, 01/11/01

Digby has more. Atrios, too:

It's okay if you hate the UN and think it's useless or evil or should be destroyed. That's your choice. However, such opinions do not make you a suitable candidate for Ambassador to the U.N.
