John Bolton bolts from the truth

John Bolton, who is George Bush's nominee for UN ambassador, is a "serial abuser" according to testimony in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. According to Der Spiegel:
Mr. Bolton tried, but failed, to explain away his long public record of attacking the United Nations. Senator Barbara Boxer dealt rather neatly with Mr. Bolton's lamentation that he was being misquoted by playing a videotape of a 1994 speech in which he said: "There is no United Nations. There is an international community that occasionally can be led by the only real power left in the world - that's the United States - when it suits our interests and when we can get others to go along."
Watch out for the big lie coming. Bolton is using the "Who, me?" defense.
