Like the powers-that-be in the CIA and the Democratic Party, their arm at the New York Times believes above all else in the war on the Bush administration . One front of that war is the war on John Bolton, to which the Times contributed Sunday with Warren Hoge's page-one article: The story is a model of the journalism in service of an agenda that has thoroughly discredited the Times
Seeing John Bolton make the rounds of the weekly gabfests on Sunday, I thought that he has become the best spokesman of the Bush administration on foreign policy, period. When Senator Voinovich announced this past Thursday that he would support Ambassador Bolton's confirmation as United States Ambassador to the United Nations, the New York Times might have been expected to contribute its accustomed hit in the form of a purported news story, full of anonymous sources and negative quotes. The Times is as reliable as Swiss clockwork, and Hoge's story does not disappoint.

I decided nearly 50 years ago that I'd rather be respected than liked. It didn't take too long after that to realize that once word gets out you aren't afraid of a fight you don't get involved in many. Sounds to me like John Bolton learned some of the same lessons I did growing up.
