Bush Nominates Bolton as U.N. Ambassador

I had this brief, horrible vision of our ambassador singing "How Can We Be Lovers if We Can't be Friends?" in front of the General Assembly. I mean, if the world didn't hate us before, that would seal the deal.

Fortunately, it's some other guy named Bolton.

My first thought upon seeing that was that he had nominated Roose Bolton. I clearly need to get a life.

See, that reference will make more sense to me if and only if the series ever ends, so I can actually read the bloody thing. :-)

Wow, you haven't read them ... yet you knew who I was talking about.
Scary.

[yendi]

Nope. Just Googletastic. :-)

I guess that means you didn't hear the Treasury Secretary saying that Bono would be on the short list to head the World Bank.

[yendi]

Yeah, but Bono's songs don't suck as much.

- Yeah, well at least your name isn't Michael Bolton.

- You know, there's nothing wrong with that name.

- There was nothing wrong with it... until I was about 12 years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys.

- Hmm... well why don't you just go by Mike instead of Michael?

- No way. Why should I change? He's the one who sucks.

Heh. Was wondering how long it would take for someone to go for that quote. :-)

Heh. I couldn't help myself.

All things considered, I suspect that michael bolton might be a better ambassador than the asshat bush nominated

It's funny... Everyone always mentions that song as his absolute worst... But it's the only one by him that I can stand.

[yendi]

Oh, he's done much worse, but it's the most appropriate for the situation. :-)
