Bolton vs. the Moonbat
By John
Exiting the UN Security Council today, US Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton took a few minutes to field questions from the press. Among them was a barking moonbat, who wanted to get the latest conspiracy out to a national audience. Luckily I had my TiVo handy....
Reporter: You talk quite often about the credibility of the UN and it seems....Bolton: and so has Secretary Rice recently
Reporter: Yes and Rice [note, not Secretary Rice...Rice.] has as well. Um, that seems to work in your favor when they do what they want you to do, but you violated the UN charter when you went to war against Iraq. And you consistently lie to us about the reasons that we went to war. And this war was drawn up in [garbled] Israel in 1996, with the Project for the New American Century. And, you know..how...why do you have credibility other than that you've just got the biggest guns?
Bolton: Can I ask what media outlet you're with?
Reporter: [garbled] Weekly
Bolton: I see. We did not violate the UN charter and the war to overthrow Saddam was not drawn up in Israel...
Reporter interrupts Bolton, but wasn't speaking into a microphone so I couldn't make out what she was saying. From what I could tell it, she started to get a bit hysterical, asserting something to the affect of "yes it was! yes it was!" Bolton smoothly dismissed her and moved onto the next question, presumably from a real reporter.
Are the moonbats now doing media ambushes? I thought this was pretty funny and Bolton was clearly amused, but moonbat-reporter was stone cold serious. I'm glad that her publication, which was obviously fringe and obscure, was unintelligble. I'd hate for her rag to get free press from a stunt like this....

They do this. They make a false statement and hope that no one notices. They should ask a question and wait for the answer.
That is the best part about John Bolton - while he is plainspoken and has a temper - he can hold it together and find the humor in the moonbat situation. I loved watching his confirmation hearing appearances on C-Span.
BTW, where is that reporter? I'm going to have to nuetralize her now - no one is supposed to talk about the "Project for the New American Century". Grrrr and I had a date tonight!
Just going through my TiVo cleaning things up and came across the interview you were talking about.
The publication is apparently Muslims Weekly according to this link: http://www.usunnewyork.usmission.gov/06_094.htm
What a crackpot!

And they make fun of Bush for not being concise. Talk about a rambling, disjointed flow for random 'facts'. (Much like the whole political philosophy). And not much of a question. It would've only been better if she asked if we saw the UN as able to initiate our New World Order.
