Bolton blunder (Toledo Blade)

[struggle4progress]

THANK goodness the Senate has put President Bush's controversial nomination of John Bolton as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations on hold at least until next week. <snip>

Since Mr. Bush would clearly be reluctant to withdraw the nomination, thus acknowledging his own lapse of judgment in choosing an unsuitable candidate for this critical post, it is instead now up to John Bolton himself to withdraw from the field, putting an end to the snarl in the Senate and permitting the President to offer a more appropriate candidate.

This should occur now, rather than letting the Senate come back to find this mess still on its doorstep.

1. Pigs Will Fly First

These people have no shame.

2. Fat chance of that happening, neither Bush nor Bolton know....

...any thing about honor. Bolton's nomination will still be there and Bush will be as belligerent as ever. Bush is only interested in getting his own way and the country and the world can got to hell in Bush's mind. As for John Bolton, he'll never withdraw unless ordered to. He is looking for payback!

And it is shameful and sickening.
