#1 I'm wondering if he like to run for Prez?

#2 "Representative Peter Hoekstra, Republic of Michigan"

Is the NYT writer waxing 'hopeful' or is Mr. Myers just one of those NewYorkers that don't understand anything west of the Hudson?

#3 The White House has been dangerously soft. On just about everything except the war in Iraq, and then only just recently did he do something after the State department bollixed the whole thing up.

Can we get a real conservative leader in the White House please?

#5 We want a warmonger. ;-) All the rest is gravy. For the forseeable future, only the Republicans are supplying warmonger candidates.

And real conservatives don't win the White House. Ronald Reagan, bless him, was perfectly happy to let Congress spend, so long as he got his tax cuts and his defeat of the Soviet Union. Similarly, George W. Bush made sure he got his War on Terror; and he might even be winning it, too, in only two terms. Remember, half this country is not conservative, and like it or not they must be accommodated. We aren't like the French, who swing from Republic to pseudo-monarchy and back again, never stopping in the middle.

#6 When Bolton was on the Dennis Miller radio show the other day, Miller made a casual remark about Bolton being Secretary of State under a Giuliani administration. Can you imagine the hysterical uproar? You couldn't make enough popcorn - hahaha!

Of course, I'd love to see him in that position under any administation, but I can't imagine anyone but Giuliani considering the struggle that it would take to confirm him to be worth it.

#7 The White House’s effort to challenge Iran’s nuclear ambitions has been hobbled by “four and a half years of failed diplomacy.”

Fixed that.

Its policy regarding North Korea is a dangerous total fraud.

And that.

It is pursuing an improbable Palestinian-Israeli peace at the expense of its stance against proliferation in the Middle East moral authority.

And that. All done!

Seeing as how Mullah Richard already nailed the "Republic of Michigan" quip.

#8 I'm wondering if he like to run for Prez?

He could only win in a better version of this country but we can still dream.

#11 Bolton was the best fit for the UN.

Taken another bout, that MAN would make an excellent cabinent member, if not advisor.
