John Bolton: Coming To A Podium Near You
John Bolton: Coming To A Podium Near You
John Bolton’s tenure as U.N. ambassador is over, but his neoconservative cheerleading is just beginning. ThinkProgress obtained a message from the Washington Speakers Bureau, which is advertising Bolton’s new job on the speakers circuit:
I wanted you to be among the first to know that a new speaker has joined Washington Speakers Bureau.
JOHN BOLTON, who was U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, has joined Washington Speakers Bureau for exclusive representation. Last week, the “Wall Street Journal” described him as someone who “saw the world as it really was” and spoke “with moral clarity about it.” [...]
I hope you will call me as you start planning your upcoming events.
Have a great holiday season.
Bolton was an “outspoken critic” of outgoing U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan. Now, with Bolton gone, the U.S. delegation to the United Nations has found great new admiration for Annan. A statement released late last week heaped praise on Annan, saying he “worked tirelessly to make the UN a more efficient and effective organization,” was a “strong voice condemning terrorism” and “a champion of human rights.”
Full text of email:
Dear ****,
I wanted you to be among the first to know that a new speaker has joined Washington Speakers Bureau.
JOHN BOLTON, who was U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, has joined Washington Speakers Bureau for exclusive representation. Last week, the “Wall Street Journal” described him as someone who “saw the world as it really was” and spoke “with moral clarity about it.”
In one year, John Bolton led efforts to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, led efforts to move Syria out of Lebanon, and pushed the U.N. to send peacekeepers to Somalia. He arranged for the U.N. Security Council’s first deliberations on Burma’s human rights abuses. He led the Security Council’s Resolution to end last summer’s Hezbollah war on Israel. He was praised for successfully implementing strong sanctions on North Korea within days of Pyongyang’s October nuclear test. And in a unique effort, Bolton invited actor George Clooney and Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel to brief the Security Council on the mass-murders in Darfur, Sudan, exclaiming, “Every day we delay only adds to the suffering of the Sudanese people.”
During his speech “America: Worth Standing Up For”, John Bolton speaks with clarity and conviction about the rest of the world that is increasingly important to America and American business.
I hope you will call me as you start planning your upcoming events.
Have a great holiday season.

Is he available for Bachelor Parties? I would be cool to have him stand in a room and bunch of guys drunk on beer toss turd at him.
December 19th, 2006 at 12:31 pmAnnan should be criticized.
December 19th, 2006 at 12:33 pmAnd so should Bush. Only more, much much more.
December 19th, 2006 at 12:37 pmWho’s going to pay to hear a nut case talk? Does he need the money for his meds, why isn’t he in the hospital for the insane. You can go on any street corner in New York and hear better speeches from nut cases for free why pay for Bolton? Send him to Iraq to speak and see what happens.

December 19th, 2006 at 12:48 pmRendition this clown to a barber who specializes in permanent moustache removal, one follicle at a time.
December 19th, 2006 at 12:48 pmSo now “moral clarity” is described as blocking any U.N resolution against israeli criminals when they use cluster bombs or destroy civil infrastructures in Lebanon.
What a S.O.B.

Why are you such a hate-filled, angry asshole?
I’m going to call Dr. Phil
December 19th, 2006 at 2:04 pmI honestly thought we were done with this guy.
December 19th, 2006 at 2:25 pmBecause of people like you.
I already talked to Dr. Phil. Nothing he can do for except pray that Bush is impeached when the Dems take over Congress.
Thanks for playing.
Next.
December 19th, 2006 at 2:26 pmWhen are we going to see a photo of Pam Atlas sitting on uncle John’s lap giving him some conservative love? Vanity Fair are you listening?
December 19th, 2006 at 2:47 pmbolton should just go, leave, and do what he does best, fondle little boys.

December 19th, 2006 at 3:02 pmEx-Ambassador to the United Nations
John “Screwball” Bolt’on announced today his upcoming overseas tour
UNkind, UNcaring and UNapologetic.
Along with his backup band, the Strap’ons, and special guest act the Beer’nuts featuring the Boosh Sisters, the crusty and disturbing diplocrat is still trying to get confirmed by the government of Khazakstan for a single nights performance in January of 2019.
More later!… (much later……)
Coyotee Noos Update…
December 19th, 2006 at 3:15 pmThe noos desk has just recieved word from Boosh Sisters agent Antonios Nose that they have changed the name of their backup band to “the Hard’ons”……..
Shouldn’t we give him a bag o’ freedom medals or something? To commemorate all his great ambassadoring?
December 19th, 2006 at 3:33 pmshouldn’t the release read:
JOHN BOLTON, who was Interim U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations?
December 19th, 2006 at 3:46 pmI’m so done with this guy.
December 19th, 2006 at 3:57 pmBolton, critic of sober judgement.

But you got it first!
December 19th, 2006 at 5:56 pm“Who’s going to pay to hear a nut case talk? Does he need the money for his meds, why isn’t he in the hospital for the insane.”
I challenge you to back up that stupid statement?
December 19th, 2006 at 7:00 pm“I’m so done with this guy.”
Why? What did he do that turned you off?

Because his mustache was scratchy, and he left my tw*t raw.

Yeah…..now. Heh.
December 19th, 2006 at 11:11 pmHe can speak at the Jammy Media Holiday party.
December 20th, 2006 at 8:05 amIf John plays a unversity or theater near you…go and protest. Go in pay your money and during question and answer time ask good ol’ John about PNAC, and why he chaired the commitee for a New World Order. Why he believes it’s ok to torture little children, and why is the NWO trying to destroy this country. Simple.

Couple times a month we get the same guy writing under different names. Oh’ Billy Bob sounds a lot like Hector Garcia…so on.
Zooey you rock.
As far as letting this guy into Birthday parties with little children, highly disturbing. Remember they don’t call them PedoCons for nothing.
December 20th, 2006 at 4:13 pm“Why he believes it’s ok to torture little children”
Do you people ever come up with something about Bolton that you can back up? Or must you resort to name calling because there is nothing but air between your ears!
