Bolton Shoots Self in Foot, Nomination in Trouble

AP Breaking News:

New allegations against the Bush Administration's nominee for UN Ambassador John Bolton have seriously hampered Mr. Bolton's chances of being confirmed even with the current Republican grip on power.

Mr. Bolton was asked about the impact of recent riots due to a copy of the Quran being flushed down a toilet at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In response, Bolton said "why shouldn't the Quran go in the toilet? I have been using it for toilet paper for years...and it can join the goddamn Constitution that you leftists and democrats have been shitting on for generations."

Senate Majority leader Bill Frist said that while this is the type of tough talk necessary to reform the UN, the milque-toast moderates were likely to kill the nomination.
