Bolton Moves Along

The Senate has advanced John Bolton for nomination as Ambassador to the U.N. In an effort to make lemonade out of lemons, here are the benefits of an Ambassador Bolton:

Iran’s Ambassador Bagher Asadi no longer the meanest bastard in the UN. Take that, moderate and somewhat modern Islamic republic.

Donald Trump is now frozen out of the running.

John Bolton will be too busy belittling his new UN peers to do anything that might actually be significant or influential.

Bolton can sneak out sensitive Al Qaeda G2 inside that creepy moustache of his.

Kofi Annan will never get tired of asking, “Will the ambassador from the United State humor us with a few bars of ‘Sitting on the Dock of the Bay,’ or ‘How am I Supposed to Live Without You?’”
