Bush's nominee for Ambassador to the UN is in trouble. Turns out he tried to have a CIA analyst fired for disagreeing with him, requested secret documents in an attempt to spy on his peers in government, and has a history of being abusive to underlings.
Bush gave a little speech saying that Bolton was a good man or some such crap, but it's looking like Georgie is going to have to find a new nominee.
A lot of the world was aghast when Bolton was appointed and nobody held out much hope for the Senate shutting down his nomination, but it's looking a lot like it will be shut down. That not only keeps a dangerous and arrogant man out of the UN, but makes Bush look like a class A idiot...the White House is supposed to vet these guys before they nominate them. 8)
