I saw another political figure when walking to work this morning (though someone somewhat less exciting than Rahm Emanuel): John Bolton, the former US ambassador to the UN, who made the (in)famous statement that it would not make a difference if ten stories of the UN building in NY were removed. (See the youtube clip below on that and some of his other views on the UN and the US’s role in world politics.) Apparently, he works here in DC now and it looked as though he was on his way to work, so if we’re on the same schedule, I guess I’ll see him again.
