dana milbank may think its funny but to say that Bolton wanted to blow up the UN is ridiculous and terrorizing – not to mention completely inaccurate.  responsible reporters shouldn’t joke about bombing the un.  to be accurate, bolton said, “The Secretariat Building in New York has 38 stories. If you lost ten stories today, it wouldn’t make a bit of difference.”.  bolton was obviously commentating on a bloated bureaucracy and the need for efficiency.  i”ll put dana (don’t let the name fool you , he’s a guy) down for advocating for a waste of u.s. tax dollars and using bomb jokes to be funny.

dana may think it’s just a joke but it’s actually lame and dull writing from a lame and dull writer.  his bomb joke also furthers a lie that liberal pundits like to spread about bolton’s tough diplomacy skills.  i could easily argue that bolton’s work engaging the UN and trying to fix its’ mess means that he cares more about it than susan rice does since she just attends parties and doesn’t actually use the UN to further U.S. interests.

i ask you, who cares more - someone who ignores a problem or someone who tries to fix it?
