Bush Names Hard Ass as New Ambassador to U.N.

Bush has named John Bolton as the new ambassador to the U.N. The NY Times says he's known as a "blunt-spoken conservative known for his sharp skepticism of the United Nations and international diplomacy." Just what we need as representation in the U.N. Refreshingly, a Repulican Senator from Nebraska reacted by saying:

"We need alliances, we need friends," he said of the United Nations, adding that while reforming the organization was important, "To go up there and kick the U.N. around doesn't get the job done."

Nice that someone came out and said it.
