n the 2003 address, Bolton described Kim as a "tyrannical dictator" and said life in impoverished North Korea was a "hellish nightmare."

 

Really? I thought it was Happy Land...

Well, the main part would be the "possible misunderstanding/deception" to the Senate in his testimony (as Hubbard claims).

 

But the North Korea exchange was unique. Although I'm sure it's nothing new for the North Koreans to use the phrase "human scum".. they're probably the DDPs of the International Scene

"I even told those fudge packers I liked Bolton's policies!"

 

Comw on, I'm suprised no one else made an "Office Space" reference yet.

"Well why should I have to change my policies, there's the ones that suck..."

Larry Flynt has become involved in the Bolton confirmation hulabaloo. For the sake of all things holy, I hope Bolton did not actually engage in the alleged forced group sex.

Larry Flynt: Bush UN nominee won't answer questions about troubled marriage

RAW STORY

 

The controversial Hustler Magazine publisher Larry Flynt has waded into the conflict surrounding the nomination of Bush hawk John Bolton to a UN post by revealing Bolton's divorce records and unanswered questions about his sexual past, RAW STORY has learned.

 

The following release was issued early this afternoon. RAW STORY will provide more details as they become available.

 

The records show that Bolton's wife left him during a trip to Vienna in two weeks in 1982 and never returned. The records further show that she took most of the couple’s furniture.

 

The records do not disclose details about Flynt's claims. Bolton's ex-wife was not present at the time of the testimony.

 

RAW STORY has an outstanding call to the State Department but does not anticipate any response.

From Mr. Flynt's release:

 

Corroborated allegations that Mr. Bolton’s first wife, Christina Bolton, was forced to engage in group sex have not been refuted by the State Department despite inquires posed by Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt concerning the allegations. Mr. Flynt has obtained information from numerous sources that Mr. Bolton participated in paid visits to Plato’s Retreat, the popular swingers club that operated in New York City in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

 

“The first Mrs. Bolton’s conduct raises the presumption that she fled out of fear for her safety or, at a minimum, it demonstrates that Mr. Bolton’s established inability to communicate or work respectfully with others extended to his intimate family relations,” said Mr. Flynt. “The court records alone provide sufficient basis for further investigation of nominee Bolton by the Senate.” These court records are enclosed here as an attachment. Mr. Flynt continued, “The U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations must be free of any potential source of disrepute or blackmail.”

 

Mr. Flynt has contacted the State Department asking that they confirm or deny the allegations of Mr. Bolton’s prior conduct concerning his wife and the alleged paid visits to Plato’s Retreat. He has also called upon the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to conduct an inquiry into the very serious evidence concerning his first wife’s fear of him.

 

Neither the State Department nor the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has yet responded to Mr. Flynt’s inquiries.

 

The Hustler magazine publisher demanded an immediate response from Mr. Bolton. Mr. Flynt has personal knowledge about sources corroborating the allegations of nominee Bolton’s misconduct, and he has called upon these persons to publicly come forward with their information.

 

“First wife Christina Bolton has understandably remained silent on what led her to flee her husband of 10 years and to take the family belonging with hers. A full inquiry would necessarily involve meetings with Mrs. Bolton to uncover the circumstances of her flight and the Committee should subpoena her in private session,” Mr. Flynt said.

 

Mr. Flynt has no further comment at this time, except to ask that the press examine the attached court document pertaining to Mrs. Bolton flight from her home.

 

Mr. Flynt is awaiting further leads regarding Mr. Bolton’s private behavior, at which point he will have more information to convey.

what kind of idiots want our ambassedor, who will most likely be negotiating with other countries on all manner of things, to be someone who tells hte blunt honest truth????

You want somebody who can play chess, lie, manipulate, make the other person feel important, and do it all while still making the other person like you.

 

imagine Bolton one day negotiating with N. korea. Everybody sits down.

BOLTON: Kim Jong il is a freakin' psychopath.

NK: What!? Screw you.

*they walk out. negotiatons over. the fact that bolton is saying a true thing = irrelevant*
