John Bolton eyes 2012 presidential run
No, it's not just an attention-getting stunt. John Bolton is seriously considering running for president.

Bolton, the fiery, archconservative former United Nations ambassador, sees an opening in the 2012 Republican field. And his case, while far-fetched, is not altogether implausible.

"As I survey the situation, I think the Republican field is wide open," Bolton told POLITICO. "I don't think the party's anywhere close to a decision. And stranger things have happened. For example, inexperienced senators from Illinois have gotten presidential nominations."

Bolton’s explorations are attracting some notice on the right. He’s on the cover of the forthcoming issue of National Review, the influential conservative magazine.

John Boy's the only one I would like the GOP to nominate more than Palin.

3. Right. They're totally gonna nominate Mr Gay Marriage. It's only 2010ad outside the GOP.
Anyway, I was kinda hoping they'd nominate Michael Bolton. That way the 2012 Republican National Convention can turn into a four day long soulful love ballad. Quite a step up from the usual four day long hateful wankfest.

This fool couldn't even get the support of a GOP Senate to get confirmed as UN Ambassador. He's that nuts. But we can wish.
