about Bolton. Last four paragraphs:

He's loyal. And in the faith-based world of Bush & Cheney & Rove, that's all that matters.

But that's okay. Because Bolton is going to flop at the U.N. He's damaged goods, and he can't even act like Bolton because everyone will be watching.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Bushies lost this skirmish. Thanks to the coalition that gathered together to oppose this outrageous and insulting appointment, the truth about John Bolton became known around the world. Thanks to the toughness of Senator Dodd and, for once, Senator Biden -- and the conscience of Senator Voinovich -- this is truly a pyrrhic victory for Bush & Co. And particularly thanks to the brilliant, mold-breaking clearinghouse role played by Steve Clemons' blog, www.thewashingtonnote.com, this coalition not only pushed out the truth about Bolton, we broke new ground in grassroots/netroots coalition strategy.

So Bolton got his recess appointment, but we didn't lose. The Liars' Club lost, even though they fixed the game.
