Bolton--B, o, l-as-in-LIAR...

Oh, I'm sure he'll pull out the usual euphamisms--"less than candid," "do not recollect," "memory failed," "don't recall,"--but those are just nice ways to say "lied through his teeth:"

WASHINGTON - John Bolton, President Bush's nominee for U.N. ambassador, neglected to tell Congress he had been interviewed in a government investigation into faulty prewar intelligence that Iraq was seeking nuclear materials in Africa, the State Department said...

Bolton was interviewed by the State Department inspector general in 2003 as part of a joint investigation with the CIA into prewar Iraqi attempts to buy nuclear materials from Niger, State Department spokesman Noel Clay said Thursday.

His statement came hours after another State Department official said Bolton had correctly answered a Senate questionnaire when he wrote that he had not testified to a grand jury or been interviewed by investigators in any inquiry over the past five years.

Clay said Bolton "didn't recall being interviewed by the State Department's inspector general" when he filled out the form. "Therefore, his form, as submitted, was inaccurate," Clay said. "He will correct it."


And on the subject of 'less than candid,' let's note for the record that John ROBERTS, alas, soon to be a fucking Supreme Court Justice, not only is a card carrying member of the Federalist Society (which Lambert at Corrents correctly refers to as the "most powerful theocratic front organization in the country"), but also was a prime force behind the Bush Florida blitzkrieg in 2000. Not that he recalls any of it.

"For the record, is your name John?"

"Senator, I don't recall."
