So today I've used my constitutional authority to appoint John Bolton to serve as America's ambassador to the United Nations," Bush said, with Bolton at his side, during an announcement in the Roosevelt Room of the White House.

Comments on Bluff Called
I am so glad that Bush did this. DU has been so dull lately.
Im looking forward to a new round of conspiracy theorys, some thinly disguised science fiction movies disguised as personal nightmares, maybe a few posts blaming it on the jews, maaybe even a few more posts blaming it on the catholics.
If we are lucky, they may even blame it on the masons!!
Its going to be a good week :).
