No to Bolton, Daily Show Update

John R. Bolton makes me so mad. Here the United States is supposed to be working on repairing its image and blah blah and instead we get saddled with this goon. Or, what the world thinks of America be damned, but lets not go out of our way to get people's pantyhose in knots please. John Bolton's nomination as US Ambassador to the UN is just plain stupid.

Look.

1. He hates the United Nations. He has denounced international treaties on small arms, biological weapons and the International Criminal Court. He has said that if the United Nations building lost 10 of its 38 floors, no one would notice (Washington Post, March 22, 2005).
2. He tries to get fired or reassigned pretty much anyone under him who wishes to think for himself or herself. He sought the removal of at least three subordinates or intelligence officials during his time as an Under Secretary of State, one because the results of a report didn't agree with his world view (New York Times, April 16, 2005).
3. He is a douchebag (Foreigner's Opinion Post, April 18, 2005).
4. He looks like he lives in a cobweb (Foreigner's Opinion Times, April 18, 2005).

The man is just so WRONG for this position, it blows my mind. Seriously. In case you're having trouble comprehending the magnitude of the idiocy of this nomination, allow me to present to you some analogies of similar levels of ridiculousness :
1. Michael Jackson being invited to star in Fox's Nanny 911
2. Jenna Jameson being appointed President of Bob Jones University
3. Anna Nicole Smith writing a book titled "Aging Gracefully"
4. George W. Bush qualifying for Mensa membership
5. Jay Leno winning the "Smallest Chin" Award
Yeah, so there. And remember, if you're one of the 18 United States Senators on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that will be voting on this matter on Tuesday, the last two letters of John R. Bolton's last name read backwards spell NO.

By the way, Daily Show update. They didn't reply to me so I faxed them again this Friday. And, when I got back to my room later that day, there was a message on my phone from a lady named Joanna* at The Daily Show saying I didn't make the first round of interviews. So sad.
HOWEVER, the very next message on the phone was from Pat at The Daily Show saying they've already filled their positions for the Summer but if I'm interested in a position for the Fall, I should call back and let him know. So Pat's obviously the man. And Joanna* doesn't know what she's talking about.

*Name changed to protect her identity to ensure that my rabid fans don't hunt her down and kill her
