>IMO the most despicable person to emerge from the Bush administration. Dick Cheney is Pee Wee Herman compared to Bolton. What's hilarious is Bush made him Ambassador to the UN. That really showed what he thought of diplomacy.

I think the most of the world took his appointment at face value - i.e. as a deliberate insult.

I think BBC did well to put him in front of cameras. Just in case anyone feels a nostalgia moment, this should cure it.
