1/20/06 Michael Richards In, John Bolton Out as New Bush Ambassador to
UN

Washington, DC (Rotters) - The White House this morning, in a hurried
press conference, announced that the president would be withdrawing his

controversial reappointment of John Bolton as US ambassador to the
United Nations. Perhaps deciding that the inflammatory nomination was
not worth the battle in Congress, it was announced that Bush would be
putting forward the immediate nomination of comedian Michael Richards
to fill the post.


The White House cited the success of its venture into the entertainment

business with the appointment of Fox network's Tony Snow as press
secretary to fill the vacancy left by Scott McClellan.


"Michael had a little slip up and he apologized immediately," said an
anonymous White House source. "This is precisely the rapid thinking on
one's feet that this position needs. We regret Michael's recent loss of

his cool, but he was in the midst of a comedy routine, and sometimes
things can be taken the wrong way in the heat of the moment... it's not

like he called someone a macaca or insulted our troops or something...
besides, most of the audience seemed to be really with him in his
comments... that's exactly the bold leadership that we want at the UN
to advance America's objectives."


Bolton's parting with the White House on the surface appeared to be
amicable. Rumor had it that he was able to secure a multimillion dollar

contract with Quaker Oats Inc. as their new spokesperson, replacing
the aging Wilford Brimsley. Quaker is set to launch a new "get tough
with cholesterol" advertising campaign which will spotlight the talents

of the frequently acerbic Bolton.


President Bush, just returned from what he described as a smashingly
successful trip to Indonesia, stated that he was looking forward to
working with Richards. "I'm a big fan," stated Bush, "I've got all his
episodes on tape. Lot's of folks were into that whole Ross/Rachel
thing, but I always thought that he carried the show... How YOU
doin'?... that still cracks me up... and I use it sometimes myself!"

Washington, DC (Rotters) - The White House this morning, in a hurried

United Nations.

What the world is really concerned about: when will Bolton shave that
ridiculous strip of pubic hair on his top lip?

What the world is REALLY concerned about: when will Americans stop airing
their unwanted facile opinions about American politics on photography newsgroups?

WE DON'T GIVE A ****!

Yes, but you don't get it: We don't give a **** that the world
doesn't give a **** ;-)

Actually, I've been a little surprised at how much attention
American politics *does* get (and it's far too much, I agree) - some
people from outside the States are amazingly well-informed. And in many
cases, more informed than many American voters (but that'll set us off
again).

But, look at the original poster. Now, would you rather hear more
about the "BRILLIANT SHINY 20D LOVED BY ONE AND ALL!"?

Okay, then...

;-)

Ah good point. Wasted my electrons sending that...

Perhaps. Although it's probably mostly UK people as our news is prioritised:
Soccer, London News, US News, Terrorist and Middle East news, Sports news, Uk
regional news, Europe and the rest of the world.

Eww! Good point.

Probably about the same time non-Americans stop contributing to the threads.

The smoke is clearing after the election. There is almost nothing
left to talk about on thanksgiving except football.

Have a happy turkey day to all the American readers. In a brilliant
move to get all the best turkey's our thanksgiving was a month ago.

Us non-Americans don't have much of a choice but to be interested, until
China takes over as the pre-eminent superpower, were stuck watching the
decisions you lot make, of course we'll all be well-informed experts about
communist China's politics in the near enough future by the look of things.

Unfortunately, I think you are absolutely correct. The only thing is that I
think they will lose the "communist" label and replace it with a more moderate
"socialist" one.

I don't mind what they call it, as long as they don't try to interfere all
over the world. I think China is mainly interested in being the dominant
power in Asia, I don't really think it's all that bothered about the
policies of other nations outside it's immediate sphere of influence, I
really don't think world domination is on the Chinese agenda (maybe being
I'm naive), but judging by how stand-offish they are to world affairs, for
example at the UN security council they always prefer Russia to take the
lead if they want to oppose the positions of US,Britain,France, I don't see
this changing, plus they realise that Chinese culture
(language,history,laws,customs,movies,music, etc) could never emulate or
replace the influence of American culture, they are unlikely to promote
their culture in a imperialist way, unlike the US which use it's popular
culture as a tool in it's soft power arsenal to influence other nations.
Forward to the multi-polar world I say.
