Gobsmacked!

I saw John Bolton, former US Ambassador to the UN, on The Daily Show last night.   Jon Stewart commented that it seemed almost like John Bolton was against the UN, or at the very least was not particularly fond of the organization.  Bolton agreed.  He then proceeded to explain that it is the right, nay, duty of the President to stuff every seat of power with those who agree with his point of view.   What he left unspoken was "regardless of their ability or desire to do a good job and represent the people of this country."   His point was, if the people elected the President, then the President's responsibility is to lead the country where HE wants it to go and thus must grease the wheels of progress by placing his cronies in power.

And all I could think is, holy shit, they really do live in a total fantasy world.
