WASHINGTON - President George W. Bush today asked U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton to step down, after coming to the realization that he was not the 1980s silky voiced crooner Michael Bolton Bush had intended to appoint to the post.
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino, speaking today on a conference call with reporters, said President Bush “asked [John] Bolton to sing a few bars of ‘When a Man Loves A Woman,’ and almost immediately realized that a serious error had been made."
"His style was different,'' Chinese Ambassador Wang Guangya said today of John Bolton, adding that “we had him out for karaoke last week, and we didn’t think that he seemed all that talented.”
Canadian ambassador Celine Dion applauded the move, and called for Congress to quickly move to confirm the Michael Bolton appointment in order to allow the U.S. and Canada to have more harmonious relationship.
