Tulsi Gabbard\u2019s (D-HI) views were \u201con a different planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Host Jim Acosta said, \u201cWe\u2019ve seen Matt Gaetz withdraw his nomination for attorney general. Should Tulsi Gabbard do the same for Director of National Intelligence?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bolton said, \u201cWell look, she said many things publicly that I think disqualify her. These are not just because her views are extreme. They are on a different planet. they are the views of somebody who doesn\u2019t understand anything about American interests. And to put her in charge of the office of the Director of National Intelligence I think, is malpractice. I think the effect it will have on foreign governments saying we\u2019re not sharing intelligence with the United States if it\u2019s going to come into the hands of somebody like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cThere are a lot of claims out there that\u2019s why the basic practice of administration after administration and Senate after Senate, for all senior appointees, but particularly people nominated to sensitive national security positions, is before the Senate votes on them. they get a full field FBI background investigation. This is not picking on Tulsi Gabbard or anybody else. This is how you find out what\u2019s really going on with with all of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bolton added, \u201cThis is a bad nominee I think of all the nominees Trump has put forward so far she and Matt Gaetz were in a class by themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeh, yeh, yeh. Whyn\u2019tcha just shut your cakehole already, be of use for once, and go take yourself a flying fuck at a plate-glass window, asshole-eyes. At least THAT would have some appreciable entertainment value, with the likely added benefit of your being sliced to ribbons when the glass shatters as  your mortally wounded ass sails through it, resulting in a blood-soaked, butchered meatpile inside the chosen establishment.\u2014ideally, a dingy dive-bar in late afternoon, not too crowded, but by no means totally deserted either. A library; a vintage clothing store; a cigar\/tobacco shop; a bakery; a bodega\u2014none of those would have quite the same <em>ooomph<\/em>\u00a0as a good old-school gin joint, in my view. At least in one of those alcoholically-correct barrooms, there\u2019ll be plenty of day-drinking Old Soaks on hand as eyewitnesses for the blessed event.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of its commercial focus, the owner of said establishment doubtless won\u2019t be too terribly chuffed at needing to get his broken window replaced all of a sudden-like, let alone the timbers-shivering prospect of trying to wheedle one of his lowlier employees\u2014a barback, a busboy, a dishwasher, let\u2019s say\u2014into rolling out the mop and bucket to swab up the nightmarish lake of congealing gore and\/or gobbets of shredded flesh without him\/her huffily downing tools and stalking out\u00a0<em>sans<\/em>\u00a0the customary two weeks&#8217; notice at the first intimation of an assignment as onerous as that.<\/p>\n<p>On further reflection, however, the proprietor will fast come to realize that the former NSA\u2019s spectacular swan-dive swan song was well worth the attendant expense, effort, and inconvenience for himself and his luckless lower-echelon staff. Upon such improbable wings have great fortunes, reputations, even <em>legends<\/em>\u00a0taken flight and soared off into American history. Ask any owner of a Midtown Manhattan eatery in which a prominent <em>Mafioso<\/em> got whacked before a roomful of diners during a busy dinner shot about how said whacking affected his bottom line ever after, he\u2019ll tell ya all about it: reservations booked solid for a year in advance; walk-in customers standing in lines at the front entrance that extend for six or seven long Avenue blocks; three-figure cash bribes slipped to <em>maitre d<\/em>\u2019s to purchase a shitty table by the door to the kitchen; SRO in the bar area with patrons jammed in four deep to while away the hours with a high-octane libation or three as they wait for their ticket number to be called by the hostess,\u00a0<em>etc<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>What the hey: five\u2019ll getcha ten that nasty ol&#8217; floor was overdue for some serious scrub-uppery anyhoo, even before the self-made oaf Bolton conjured the unique notion that it&#8217;d be a swell idea to attempt conjugal relations with a plate-glass window, capping off the unforgettable extravaganza by being rendered into tender, juicy Long Pig Kibbles &amp; Bits (<em>just add liquid, it make its own gravy!\u2122<\/em>) on the floor\u2014flaccid, freshly julienned micropenis out, a-dangle, and in ready view.<\/p>\n<p>Come ON, man! Stop pussyfooting around and just DO it already. Your public breathlessly awaits; don\u2019t leave \u2018em twisting in the wind like this, get right on down to brass tacks and git \u2018er DONE, big fella! Beats those wan, deadly dull talking-head turns as a Faux News \u201cexpert guest-analyst&#8221; all hollow, and you know it every bit as well as everybody else does.<\/p>\n<p>In any event, I gotta say that I do find it simply too,\u00a0<em>too<\/em> adorable that Bloviatin&#8217; Blowhard Bolton\u2014a pluperfect dick with ears if ever there was one; the <em>sine qua non<\/em>, the <em>ne plus ultra<\/em>, the <em>cum-laude<\/em> instantiation of this grotesque de-evolutionary sub-strain\u2014still somehow dares to dream that anybody gives a moist fart for anything he might say, on any topic whatsoever. It\u2019s pathetic when you think on it, to be frank.
