So now rumor is "News"? No wonder the Conservatives cannot win anything. They have become utterly PR stupid.

What a freaking insult to John Bolton to even consider his shoes small enough for Mitchell to wear...

That's what I was about to say. Drudge doesn't have a link for it so it must be one of his "sources" which means it's got about a 50/50 chance of being right. I'll wait to see who the Pres actually nominates before I decide to question his decision.

Ted Nugent - UN Ambassador, for the 90 days that I give the UN to get out of the US altogether, then I'd make him Secretary of State.

No, it's an insult to even consider that jackass would put American interests first, which is the number one point of importance for the position.

This has to be BS. Mitchell would never accept - he's a dour partisan DemonRat - he's as partisan as they come even though the MSM would never call him on it.

I don't think he hates America as much as the current crop of congressional Democrats, but I don't think he's going to do anything related to the Bush admin.

If Dubya has to give the libs something to get something in return, UN Ambassador might as well be it.

But, if the libs are smart, a lib UN Ambassador will get Dubya the privilege of nominating a conservative for DC dog catcher.

You're delusional. So you're going to trash the President over something that you admit is wild speculation? It's not a headline, it's on Drudge. And it's not even HIS top story.

LOL.

George Mitchell will never be nominated for U.N. ambassador under this administration.

Mitchell was under serious consideration for commissioner of Major League Baseball back in 1992, and would have been approved by a wide margin in a vote of the team owners at the time if he had been nominated. However, he first had to receive unanimous support from a five-man selection committee among the owners, and he only got four of the five votes he would have needed for his nomination to be passed on to a vote among the entire league.

Mitchell was apparently such a royal pain in the @ss to President George H.W. Bush that the owner of the Texas Rangers back then -- a fella by the name of George W. Bush -- quashed his nomination by casting the lone vote against him.

Is it not a shame that the anti-American left-wing pig faced Democrats would not approve the present ambassador who was doing a GRWAT job. But then Democrats are supporters of the terrorist so they want someone who will help their Islamic fascist brothers.

Democrats are SCUM of the earth.
