White House Calls on Jewish Groups to Line Up Behind John Bolton
It's hard to imagine something more cynical than the White House exploiting Middle East convulsions -- in which many innocents on all sides are dying in real time -- to divide Americans at home in order to try and squeeze through the Senate confirmation of the pugnacious radicalizer and international de-stabilizer, John Bolton.

Today, several reports have come to The Washington Note that Jay Zeidman, the influential 24-year old White House liaison to the Jewish community, is putting out the call to prominent American Jewish organizations to support John Bolton -- with the arm-twisting innuendo that in this time of crisis in the Middle East, American Jews need to line up behind the guy Jesse Helms said "is the kind of man with whom I would want to stand at Armageddon, if it should be my lot to be on hand for what is forecast to be the final battle between good and evil in this world."

That's exactly the kind of unstable world that Bolton seems constantly trying to stir up.

Zeidman has sent the word out to numerous Jewish organizations asking "What can the White House expect in terms of supporting John Bolton?"

1. Bolton's just the man we need in the UN. With that oversized
moustache of his (the kind of thing that gets in your food when you try to eat) he should be a big hit in a lot of third-world countries.

Unfortunately he's a Neocon tool; hates the UN; was sent there to "reform" it; and has no qualifications other than being a brash asshole greatly loved by an even bigger one -- Dick Cheney. He's pathetic. The Dems should fight him being there tooth and nail.

8. IIRC, Bolton never answered the questions about why he visited the NSA.
I would hope he's pressed again for an answer about those visits.
