The dream team

I then told this story, amusing (I thought): Couple years ago, we were on an NR cruise. And Bolton was really wowin’ ’em, with his commentary from the platform. Our passengers were saying, “Bolton for President.” So I noted this, on a panel: that people were murmuring, in rising tones, “Bolton for President.” I then said, “Hang on a minute. We know that he’s A-1 on foreign policy. But we know nothing about his domestic policies. For all we know, he’s a socialist” (as many great hawks have been). John smiled and said, “Oh, you don’t have to worry about that.”

P.S. If Bolton is president, Elliott Abrams can be secretary of state. I’ve wanted him to be secretary of state since he was an assistant secretary of state, way back under Reagan, when he, Abrams, was about twelve years old.
