Appointing a thug to piss all over the UN -- over the objections of those given the role of approving him -- is just another example of our President's contempt for those who play by the rules. It's not as bad as spying on political opponents and using lies to get us into a war of choice, but it's in the same category. Bush couldn't get his boy approved, so he said "Fuck you, I'm appointing him anyway." That's why I feel so strongly that we shouldn't give in now.
