Political Reasons

The most totally political White House in memory is shocked - SHOCKED, I tell you - to think that someone ELSE may do something for political reasons.

The White House accused Democrats on Wednesday of blocking John Bolton's nomination for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations for political reasons, as lawmakers examined fresh information Democrats said pointed to Bolton's abusive behavior.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Democrats were trying to "score political points" with the nomination of Bolton, a hard-line conservative and staunch U.N. critic.

But, gee whiz, guys, blocking Bolton's nomination would only "score political points" if the American People didn't want him to be nominated!

It looks like the White House is tacitly admitting that the Citizens of the United States don't want this extremist lunatic, either.

The only ones who want him are the OTHER extremist lunatics.
