He’s Not Just ‘Mean’

Re editorial cartoon, June 23: It’s good to see that Michael Ramirez is in tune with the Republican talking points about John Bolton to the effect that Democrats dislike Bolton simply because he’s a “mean guy.” Let’s not forget that Bolton referred to the United Nations as “irrelevant” and may be guilty of manipulating intelligence -- something we would know if the Bush administration released the documentation sought by Congress. Bolton is just one of Bush’s many bad choices, and the Democrats (and sane Republicans) in Congress are right to oppose his nomination as U.N. ambassador.
