Farewell, Mustache of Doom

Bolton is gone, but politics as usual continues. From the WAPO, US Ambassador Bolton Won't Stay:
As Bolton's resignation was announced, the White House deliberated on a new nominee, with attention focusing on Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq. The White House also has a crop of Republican lawmakers who lost reelection to consider. A number of senior ambassadors from around the world have expressed interest, but administration officials said Bolton's successor will be a political nominee. (my emphasis added)

Of course. Experienced diplomats would like to have the job, but Bush will insist on a political hack. Or try to, anyway.

What a dick.

An experienced diplomat, especially one who might actually have served under a *democratic* preznit, might have the stones to express an opinion not in agreement with the Sayings of Chairman Codpiece.

Can't have that.

Nope, can't have anyone competent either.

Makes me furious.

But can Georgie W. find anyone more incompetent than Bolton, the Bull in the China Shop?

Any competent appointee would show up Georgie as the doofus that he truly is. Where, oh where can the poor boy find another thunderous bully to match Bolton?
