George Moonbat Jumps the Shark
Posted by Dave Blount at May 28, 2008 2:30 PM
A little follow-up on moonbat scribbler George Monbiot's absurd boast that he would subject former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton to a citizen's arrest for being a war criminal. Here's how it turned out:
Security guards blocked the path of columnist and activist George Monbiot, who tried to make the arrest as Mr Bolton left the stage.
The former ambassador — a key advisor to President George W Bush who argued strongly in favour of invading Iraq — had been giving a talk on international relations to more than 600 people at the literary festival.
Mr Monbiot was blocked by two heavily-built security guards at the end of the one-and-a-half hour appearance, before he could serve a "charge sheet" on him.
After being released by the guards the columnist — a fierce critic of the 2003 American-led invasion — made a dash through the rain-soaked tented village in a failed attempt to catch up with Mr Bolton.
A crowd of about 20 protestors, one dressed in a latex George Bush mask, chanted "war criminal" as Mr Bolton was ushered away. […]
During Mr Bolton's talk, to a packed-out audience, Mr Monbiot had asked Mr Bolton what difference there was between him and a Nazi war criminal.
No word on whether Mr. Moonbat will be joining Code Pink the next time they show up in Halloween costumes and try to disrupt government hearings. The Guardian, having rather low personnel standards, continues to employ him.
Mr. Moonbat held at bay by a grownup.
