The irony is maddening

Maggie says:
Could there possibly be a worst choice for U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations than John Bolton? I mean, the irony is just maddening. It's almost comical that this administration would pick a bullheaded tough guy who's publicly criticized the UN to be our ambassador to the UN. But I find myself not laughing. We've never needed to rebuild our relationship with the UN and the world more. We've never needed the right person for the job more. The consequences of a move like this could be drastic, will be drastic. And I'm caught between shaking my head in disbelief and despair.
