Amb. Bolton on Palin Snub
Fox News ^ | 9/21/2008

Posted on 09/21/2008 12:08:14 PM PDT by markomalley

JOHN BOLTON, FORMER U.S. AMBASSADOR TO U.N.: Glad to be here.

LOWRY: Now, do you think it makes any sense to have dis-invited Sarah Palin to this event? Yes, Hillary Clinton had canceled, but there still would have been other Democrats there. And it's not as though the mere presence of Sarah Palin would have discredited this thing as a partisan event.

BOLTON: Well, I think it was a mistake. But I know the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations. It's a very important group. They have never done anything, in my view, that was partisan.

So they must have come under extraordinary pressure from Democratic activists to cancel that invitation. And I think it's damaged the group, unfortunately, and distracted attention from Iran's nuclear program.

Top Ten Things Barrack Obama can ask Sarah Palin when he gets to meet her the first time.

10- How do you load a gun?

9 - Is hunting scary?

8 - How do you get the bait on that hook thingy?

7 - What’s it like having a spouse that isn’t angry all the time.?

6 - You were Mayor, then Governor, what’s a budget?

5 - I’ve never delegated. Do you have a canned speech for that?

4 - What does ‘meeting a payroll’ mean?

3 - Why do you have so many kids; haven’t you ever heard of an abortion?

2 - What’s it like actually being an executive?

1 - Yeah, but do the Germans like you?

I don’t know who wrote this, but I LOVE it! I think Obama should also ask this question...

So what are our soldiers really like?

Listen to Ambassador John Bolton as he joins Lars at the RNC to talk about Sarah Palin.

Tuesday, Sep 02, 2008

John Bolton has met with Palin. He has every confidence in her.

Bolton said [paraphrasing]...they talked about missle defense, etc. and she was very knowledgeable and she is a ‘quick study’. He was very impressed.

Also at the Lars Larson website is a discussion he had with Gov. Palin in July about Energy and Alaska. Worth the listen!

Two quotes:

“Alaskans want to see Anwar developed”
“What we [Alaska] need if for congress to unlock our lands!”

I guess I'm just old fashioned, but I was taught that not capitalizing the first letter of someone's name shows lack of respect for a person. The individual is no more significant than a plant or a rock.

you have already chastised me on that point. but, this time, i agree with you. Reagan, Thatcher, Pope John Paul II, Cheney, Bolton, and, of course, Kilpatrick (i forgot to include her).

p.s. as a sidenote, after viewing your FReepage, i would like to bid on your car, and those pistols! :)

sadly, i currently own only a mossberg.:(

11) What would you do if your abode is breached by a miscreant with deviant thoughts, dial 911 and wait for response or pull and use your Colt 1911 and live?

"... your abode is breached by a miscreant with deviant thoughts ..."

Uh, sorry, I got distracted. I was picturing a blonde with a short dress and a large liquor bottle.

Is that supposed to be a bad thing?

I wonder if Bolton could/would serve another term as the US ambassador to the UN? I guess he would have to get “approved” to do so.

He is a very bright man and McCain should have him on his team in some manner.
