Voinovich’s Case for Bolton: ‘The World Is Going Wacko Everywhere’
Voinovich’s Case for Bolton: ‘The World Is Going Wacko Everywhere’
Last year, President Bush circumvented the United States Senate and installed John Bolton as Ambassador to the U.N. with a recess appointment. This Thursday, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will consider his nomination again.
Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH) opposed Bolton last year, delivering a powerful and eloquent indictment of the Bolton nomination. Now, Voinovich supports Bolton’s nomination. Today on Fox, Voinovich explained that Bolton needed to be confirmed because “the world, you know, is going wacko everywhere.” Watch it:
Transcript:
VOINOVICH: But the fact of the matter is the urgency of the situation, I mean, the world is going, you know, wacko everywhere.
CAVUTO: Right
VOINOVICH: One thing we need to do is to have somebody up at the United Nations that is going to speak for this country.
CAVUTO: OK. Gut call then Senator. I’m so rude. But gut call. If it were a vote, he’d win?
VOINOVICH: I don’t know.
CAVUTO: OK. Sen. George Voinovich on Capitol Hill.

Voinovich’s Case for Bolton: ‘The World Is Going Whacko Everywhere’ – - Voinovich must not be familar with the phrase, “cause and effect.”
July 25th, 2006 at 5:22 pmYeah…since the world is going ‘whacko’ everywhere, it seems only fitting that the world’s last remaining superpower be represented at the U.N. by a psychotic Muppet.
July 25th, 2006 at 5:24 pmThat’s quite an endorsement there.
July 25th, 2006 at 5:25 pmSenator Voinovich,
The world was already “going whacko” when the Senate defeated Bolten’s nomination the first time. The president already pulled out the “urgency” card as his excuse to give Bolten a recess appointment. Since then, I do not believe that Bolten has done anything convincing to show why he is any more fit to be an ambassador than before. Vote no and tell the president to appoint a real ambassador.
July 25th, 2006 at 5:28 pmThe World Is Going Whacko Everywhere’
Voinovich imbibing too much alcohol, you can tell by the odious smirk, a hallmark of Bush regimists
July 25th, 2006 at 5:30 pmThe BushCO have pictures of Voinovich with mules, children, whips, latex, a table of coke, and the Chippendales. They haven’t been spying for nothing you know.
July 25th, 2006 at 5:31 pmWhacko? I guess someone finally help up a mirror to the chimpanzees on Capital Hill and they didn’t know they were looking at their own reflections…
July 25th, 2006 at 5:33 pmWayne: “…when the Senate defeated Bolten’s nomination…” – - I have to nitpick Wayne. Let’s not confuse the names of John Bolton and Josh Bolten.
July 25th, 2006 at 5:33 pmgut call? that’s funny. Isn’t a gut call a statement and not a question? Gut call Cavuto’s gutless(?)
July 25th, 2006 at 5:37 pmCAVUTO: OK. Gut call then Senator. I’m so rude. But gut call. If it were a vote, he’d win?
July 25th, 2006 at 5:40 pmWell, I guess you’d have to rely on making a “gut” call, considering there’s no heart, mind, soul, or spine left to dictate rational decisions among the cowards in power.
And Cavuto, rude is a severe understatement. They’ve yet to come up with a term that describes your blood sucking, venom spewing sub-species. Go be a hero and kill yourself.
Whacko?………Pure Projection
July 25th, 2006 at 5:43 pmTranslation; you don’t change horsemen in the middle of the apocalypse! He must be one of those end timers.
July 25th, 2006 at 5:47 pm#12 –
July 25th, 2006 at 5:51 pmWhy can’t the end timers just do themselves in and leave us out of it?
I mean, that’s more milk, honey, and virgins for them, right?
I didn’t buy the ticket, I shouldn’t have to take this ride.

Comment by Cloak & Swagger — July 25, 2006 @ 5:51 pm
They want to force us to pray in public, go to their churches, and live in a theocracy, so why would they leave us out of forced Rature?
July 25th, 2006 at 5:53 pmin Voinivich’s op-ed article Sunday he stated that Bolton wasn’t perfect. If the world has gone wacko, wouldn’t perfect be nice senator?
July 25th, 2006 at 6:01 pmEverything going whacko so we need a man who says this:
“Many Republicans in Congress – and perhaps a majority – not only do not care about losing the General Assembly vote but actually see it as a “make my day” outcome. Indeed, once the vote is lost, and the adverse consequences predicted by the U.N.’s supporters begin to occur, this will simply provide further evidence to many why nothing more should be paid to the U.N. system.â€
July 25th, 2006 at 6:06 pmVoinovich claims that we need “somebody up at the United Nations that is going to speak for this country.” I can say unequivocally that Bolton does not speak for me. I do not want an ambassador to the United Nations who consistently tries to undermine the U.N.’s role in the world.
July 25th, 2006 at 6:07 pmyeah. everyone is wacko but us!
July 25th, 2006 at 6:08 pmThe world is going crazy everywhere? No it’s not. Because Civil War is good. It means they arent fighting us. Oh wait. That IS crazy.
July 25th, 2006 at 6:14 pmWonder what thumbscrews were put to Voinovich?
July 25th, 2006 at 6:14 pmI want a PhD to talk like that.
July 25th, 2006 at 6:16 pmActually, it’s the good ole U.S.A. under Bushitler that’s gone wacko. Denial of global warming, “intelligent design” to be taught in schools, NCLB as a required access to the military, the folly of the Iraq quagmire, “heck of a job” Brownie at FEMA in the Katrina catastrophe, letting Osama slip out of Tora Bora, “free speech zones”, domestic spying without warrants in violation of FISA, attacks on the press, stifling dissent, corporate malfeasance(Enron etc), tax cuts to the wealthiest who don’t need it, budget cuts to people in dire need, “outsourcing jobs is good for America”, the GOP war on science, corporate rape of the environment, 43 million Americans with NO health insurance, GOP graft and the corrupt connection to the K Street project, neocons wet dream of enactment of the PNAC program,…. the list is almost endless.
July 25th, 2006 at 7:00 pmHas anyone else seen the latest desperate attempt by the mass murdering, TREASONOUS criminal Bushite junta to make “lemonade” in Iraq?…
…it’s a COMMERCIAL!
…and NOT just ANY commercial…
…it’s a commercial calling world travelers to “Come and see the OTHER Iraq”…
…the Kurdish north…
…soooo, apparently Iraq HAS been partitioned…
…also Israelis also murdered 4 UN observers…
…time for the murdering TRAITOR Bushiva and his rabid (bad) Jewish master Ehud…
…to have sanctions imposed on their criminal regimes…
…and war crimes charges pressed against them at the Hague…
…al Cracker Bushites and the Jewish Murder INC. are cursed!!!!
July 25th, 2006 at 7:04 pmWonder what happened to Voinovich, he’s been one of the few Republican Senators that seems to have his own spine. Wonder if he’ll be still considered disloyal to the repubs
July 25th, 2006 at 7:09 pmacyually Big Papa…..there has been some talk that Turkey might invade northern Iraq to weed out Kurds who are commiting terrorist attacks in Turkey
July 25th, 2006 at 7:13 pmany democrat voting for john bolton should be considered dead to anyone who visits this site and is not a silly troll.
any democrat voting for john bolton should not receive a penny from any democratic contributor. period.
progressives must learn to draw lines that if crossed are fatal. john bolton is one such line.
July 25th, 2006 at 7:17 pmjohn bolton speaks for those that share the view posted on another thread moments ago, by a bush supporter:
Bush, “okay boys, these damn civilians are starting to piss me off. I want you to kill everyone who, uhm, I don’t know how to articulate this, but I’ll give it a good ole Texas try, kill anyone who doesn’t have shoes, smiles or looks suspicious. Yeah, kill em boys, the blood makes that there grass grow greener. Kick some ass you sons of bitches. And when its done, those there World War II guys will be eaten yours dusts in historyâ€
this is the sickness that we must eliminate. people are being killed by john bolton and the rest of the bush crime family. we must say NO, and any democrat who does not say NO does not deserve to be in the senate any longer. period.
July 25th, 2006 at 7:20 pm“The World Is Going Whacko Everywhere” ever since George W. Bush stole the election in 2000. It won’t stop going “whacko” until Bush and the entire rethuglican party are removed from office.
July 25th, 2006 at 7:27 pmjohn bolton supports the destruction of lebanese civilians, the burning of children with white phosphorous, and the ‘deliberate murder’ of u.n. observers by the olmert crime family.
this sick murderer must not be confirmed for another term of this sort of madness.

there has been some talk that Turkey might invade northern Iraq to weed out Kurds who are commiting terrorist attacks in Turkey
Comment by walter66 #25
Yeah I heard walter,
..but what’s a little reality to the lying, theiving, mass murdering criminal bushite junta?
…let’s just hope that a great many of the dumba*s al Cracker inbred Bushite TRAITORS and their corporate/political Zionist co-conspirators…
…take the mass murdering Bushites’ (propaganda) commercial to heart…
…and ALL decide to vacation in Kurdistan just as the Turks invade…
…I hear those Turks are some “baaad motha’…
…shut yo’ mouth”…
July 25th, 2006 at 8:03 pm“Stability is an unworthy American mission, and a misleading concept to boot. We do not want stability in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and even Saudi Arabia; we want things to change. The real issue is not whether, but how to destabilize.†Ledeen (AEI)
It’s a tactic to spread the wars.
July 25th, 2006 at 8:04 pmJust be patient. As soon as we get macho boy Bush out of the presidency, then the world will stop going “whacko everywhere”.
July 25th, 2006 at 8:06 pmNow, that is America. The “once” decent Senator has “sold out to the “better” interests” of America. WOW! I wonder if he knows that Saddam had wmd’s? He does now.
July 25th, 2006 at 8:12 pmAmerica is surely lost!
Some pretty nasty words for Israel and the GOP in general.
July 25th, 2006 at 8:12 pmKurdistan !!! Where is Kurdistan? I’m sure Turkey loves that.
July 25th, 2006 at 8:36 pmVoinovich should be looking at what’s happening in Ohio – Democrat Ted Strickland leading Bush-clone Kenneth “Diebold” Blackwell by 20 points for Governor and Democrat Sherrod Brown leading Republican Mike Dewine by 8 points. Voinovich is going to be “left behind”.
July 25th, 2006 at 8:49 pmi dont get it two rights make a wrong?
Appoint a whacko to stifle the Whackos?
wtf? really.
July 25th, 2006 at 8:51 pmjames risser
I’m sorry, you wrote democrats, progressives….
but i kept reading communists, communists.
No, really, read what you have said – you sound not just totalitarian, you sound like orthodox totalitarian.

Seixon is actually an randy michaels [ed schultz] operative.
Seixon and it’s il are the squishy boos, the mighty aphrodites, the randy…of the blogosphere. The poll stuffers, a small group of net dweebs the Schultz’s. The Pretzels.
July 25th, 2006 at 8:57 pmMore proof that most of these guys make judgement calls solely by the direction the wind happens to be blowing on any given day, as opposed to a rational line of thought.

Hello, fellas.
You’ve incriminated yourselves:
to weed out Kurds
you’ve been talking about? Are you plain racist, nazi? What are you? Why don’t you take appropriate names?
July 25th, 2006 at 8:58 pmNo, really, read what you have said – you sound not just totalitarian, you sound like orthodox totalitarian.
Comment by One Jew — July 25, 2006
Explain then to us Talmudism?
July 25th, 2006 at 8:58 pmHey now
Kurdistan !!! Where is Kurdistan? I’m sure Turkey loves that.
Yeah. As you put it: “Turkey might as well wounder where Armenia is?”
Does that ring a bell to you?
July 25th, 2006 at 9:01 pmPatrioticLiberalChristian
Voinovich should be looking at
You sound like “my team is weaning, not his”
I thought at the end of every elections America wins, because every elections is a victory of democracy. Didn’t you?
July 25th, 2006 at 9:04 pmHorace Greeley
No you explain nazism. I’m not sure if you could. You might not. But would you dare?

I thought they did, but they are greedy, as you, and samael will have your soul. Kel the 18 has come to you, the morea, not me,weighs you now.
July 25th, 2006 at 9:08 pmHorace Greeley
you will see in a later date.=)
G, I’m sorry I paid attention, no more. You are just plain rude.
July 25th, 2006 at 9:09 pmSo the world is going “whacko” therefore, we need to keep our own American whacko on at the United Nations.
July 25th, 2006 at 9:18 pmHe must have been on the receiving end of a lot of shit since he opposed Bolton the first time — it has affected his brain.
Didn’t we all just read recently of how many of the ambassadors are dissed by Bolton, and how he disrupts and sabotages things on which they have been working.
July 25th, 2006 at 9:21 pmWhether Bolton is confirmed or not, he’ll certainly be up for a medal.
July 25th, 2006 at 9:25 pmThe whole neocon project is an abject failure and everyone who supported it will have a lot to explain in November. This Administration has given “conservatives” very little to rally behind. Iraq will be EVERYTHING in this election cycle.
July 25th, 2006 at 9:55 pmo.j.
i assume you are intending to belittle my comments regarding democrats and progressives by calling me an ‘orthodox totalitarian marxist’?
i must say, i have been called many things on this site, but, congratulations! you are the first to call me an ‘orthodox totalitarian marxist’! and, this is supposed to hurt my feelings?
July 25th, 2006 at 10:05 pmOh jeez you people are funny!
July 25th, 2006 at 10:16 pmin other words, o.j.
tonight is slow…i welcome you to expand on your attack of what you believe are my epistemological roots…
July 25th, 2006 at 10:17 pmNo, George, Bolton is a wacko. Just a bit of confusion there.

July 25th, 2006 at 10:18 pmThis going wacko everywhere, you gotta watch it, because this is an instance of some one Projecting (Freudian Projection). This old man is informing us that he is going wacko, not the “world everywhere”.
July 25th, 2006 at 10:21 pmYes Voinovich, the world is “going all whacko”.
Unfortunately your party won’t impeach Der Chimpenfuhrer, so it’s gonna be all whacko for a little while longer.
July 25th, 2006 at 10:35 pm909 more days, kurt.
July 25th, 2006 at 10:41 pmI’m sorry, you wrote democrats, progressives….
July 25th, 2006 at 11:24 pmbut i kept reading communists, communists. Comment by One Jew
Thats because youre stupid.
So, no one better than a wacko to understand this world going wacko
July 25th, 2006 at 11:32 pm#41 one Jew sez…..”You’ve incriminated yourselves: to weed out Kurds”
yeah, kinda like Israel weeding out Hezbollah
according to you, that makes the Israelies nazis too
July 26th, 2006 at 12:09 amSince the world has gone wacko thanks to Bush, then Bolton the nut-job is not the person for the important UN position!
July 26th, 2006 at 2:27 am“So what’s one more whacko?’ Well, that’s one way of looking at it, I suppose. BushCo does not believe in Diplomacy. They refuse to talk to any Government they don’t like. So why would their choice for U.N. Ambassador be any different? It’s not like it is a big secret, unlike most BushCo policy. But did Bolton know where those U.N. Peacekeepers were going to be? Did Israel? Just more ‘collateral damage’? And what sort of message does it send when BushCo refuses to call for a ‘cease-fire’, and at the exact same time, they are rushing more weapons to Israel? The world is going whacko, alright. And BushCo is leading the parade.
July 26th, 2006 at 7:50 amBolton is no more fit for the job of UN representative than bush is for president. Both men and all this administration have the mind sets of spoiled children. They show their ignorance and lack of deplomacy on a minute by minute basis. Using the, my game, I make the rules or I will take my balls home and game is over shows their childish ways….
There is no winning or preventing these wars, borrow and spend, selling out america to their friends and cutting all needed safety and rebuilding our country untill we get this bunch of liers and thieves out of office….If bushco and this administration continue to steal the elections we will not have freedom or our working constitution, indeed we are becoming a dictatorship controled country……Cases in point ,Iraq, Katrina, wiretapping, Dubi ports, imprisonment and arrests of citizens for disenting, supporting Israel and other waramonging countries. Just a tiny list . There are thousands of other important reasons since 2000 of why we must boot all of these cancerious minds out of our government….. When will we rise up and say enough.? No I do not have a mouse in my pocket. I am asking all of you, when will you say enough…..Stop the madness, boot them out…….Blessings….Work for Peace.
July 26th, 2006 at 9:16 amVoinabitch is whacked.
July 26th, 2006 at 9:16 amThat’s the problem. As mentioned above, things are looking
better in Ohio for November, but these asswipes are still in office.
We’re seeing more Lemmings jumping Bush’s ship of fools, but it’s
only to get re-elected.
Stop the charade,
No incumbents in ‘06!
Such eloquence! Such probity! We’re all fortunate to have the United States Senate to save us from foolish foreign entanglements and to ensure that only the best and most capable men are appointed to serve our country.
July 26th, 2006 at 12:15 pmActually the USA has gone whacko, put a drunken AWOL coward into the higest office to be controlled by a bunch of worthless cowards who love war, since none of them ever served in one and half of the citizens are crazy enough to give their constitution away because they are afraid of terrorist attacks in their trailer parks…what a freaking mess this world has come to.
Vote Democrat in November…that is our only chance to stop the bleeding from this bunch of idiot neo-fascist bastards.
July 26th, 2006 at 12:46 pmThe world has gone berserk, so find the biggest mouth with the smallest brain and appoint it to be your ambassador. Only in the Bushite empire would this be considered correct.
July 26th, 2006 at 3:15 pmIf the world is going whacko everywhere, maybe it has something to do with putting WHACKOs into the UN on behalf of the US???!!!!
It’s kinda funny listening to a RETHUG talk about WHACKOs, when right wing WHACKOs have taken over our country and shoving the world toward war. They have no shame.
July 26th, 2006 at 3:37 pmIt’s especially whacko here in the US.
July 26th, 2006 at 5:26 pm[...] Yesterday’s schedule for the show (I have it because I loaded the front page yesterday, don’t see it archived anywhere) included: Zionists are now using the Bush “War President†strategy to get UN warmonger John Bolton confirmed in the Senate. Senator Voinovich explains his flip-flop on Bolton: “The world is going wacko everywhere.†Small problem with that BS logic…it is Bolton who has aided Bush/Cheney in creating the wackoness. Man… [...]
