The mustache of serial abuse

wouldn't know diplomacy if it bit him in the ass...
Mr. Bolton that day burst into a packed committee hall, produced a cordless microphone and began to lecture envoys from developing nations about their weakening of a proposal to tighten management of the United Nations, his chief goal.

Gaveled to silence, he threw up his hands and said, “Well, so much for trying something different.”

It was not merely rude, the ambassadors said. One recalled that moments later, his BlackBerry flashed a message from another envoy working on management change. “He just busted us apart,” it read.

yes, john, we know you are good at the angry clown act but how about seriously working on GETTING SOMETHING DONE...??!?
The envoys will not, of course, have any say about whether Mr. Bolton receives the full appointment to the United Nations. But their concerns over his methods extend to issues that the senators will undoubtedly have to weigh: his ability to build coalitions and reach consensus.

senators... listen up...! regarding abilities to build coalitions and reach consensus...? he doesn't have any or, if he does, he has deliberately failed to cultivate them and they've atrophied from severe neglect... DON'T CONFIRM HIM...!

(thanks to raw story...)
