James Taranto, in Best of the Web, starts out with this item today:

Comiconomenclaturists for Bolton
A group of ex-diplomats have signed a letter to Sen. Richard Lugar, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, urging the rejection of John Bolton's nomination for ambassador to the U.N., because among other things Bolton is too pro-American.

Among the signatories, according to the Associated Press: "Princeton N. Lyman, ambassador to South Africa and Nigeria under Presidents Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Clinton; Monteagle Stearns, ambassador to Greece and Ivory Coast in the Ford, Carter and Reagan administrations; and Spurgeon M. Keeny Jr., deputy director of the Arms Control Agency in the Carter administration."

Princeton, Monteagle and Spurgeon--these are their first names! As reader Doug Welty asks, what do Fauntleroy and Poindexter think?

Amen, Bro.

The commie's always want us to "follow the money." We libertarians are always wondering why their no good heirs are following Marx.
