The Guardian brings us this:

"Call it Colin Powell's revenge. The former US secretary of state has been putting the knife into John Bolton, the administration's rottweiler and the man nominated by George Bush to represent the US at the UN.
In very similar stories, the
Washington Post and the New York Times reported today that Powell has been telling moderate Republicans on the senate foreign relations committee that Bolton is a bad choice. Powell's former chief of staff, Lawrence Wilkerson, went so far as to tell the New York Times that Bolton would be an "abysmal ambassador".

Why do we Republicans always do this to ourselves? You never see Democrats back stab each other. I will give them that. They are loyal. Getting serviced by an intern at the white house? No problem. Have a gay prostitution ring being run out of your house and you are a Congressman. Thats OK! Have a illegimate child with someone who works in your nonprofit while the wife and mother of your five children handles it with grace? Sure! Why not???? Congressional investigation into your finances? Who cares?

Seriously, Republicans just turn and run or back stab. It is really starting to make me sick. Who needs enemies when you have friends like these??
