From an editorial in The New York Times:
We certainly look forward to Mr. Bolton’s confirmation hearings, and, after that, his performance at the United Nations, where he will undoubtedly do a fine job continuing the Bush administration’s charm offensive with the rest of the world.
Which leaves us wondering what Mr. Bush’s next nomination will be. Donald Rumsfeld to negotiate a new set of Geneva Conventions? Martha Stewart to run the Securities and Exchange Commission? Kenneth Lay for energy secretary?
I suppose Lt. William Calley will be nominated for ambassador to Vietnam, or John Negroponte in Honduras maybe? Oh that’s right, he’s tied up in Iraq, whom he screwed royally before, selling arms to Iran during the Iraq-Iran war when we were all kissy-kissy with Saddam.
I’d like to see David Duke nominated as an ambassador to say South Africa.
