Just amazing really, the stark contrast between civil servants who place country before party, and jerks like Bolton. One could make an argument that the Republican party is destroying America, but who has the energy to make such a big list?
Yellow Dog Blog: Home of The Yellow-Dog Democrat: Who We Nominate, Who They Nominate:
Richard Holbrooke, who Republicans delayed for 14 months as Bill Clinton's nominee to the U.N., refused to bypass the Senate with a recess appointment, saying that it would introduce him to the world body with no credibility or authority.
From where I sit (at my desk, in a chair, yadda yadda), Bush resembles a petulant child convinced of his own self-righteousness, even in the face of contradictory evidence. The Senate only asked that democracy not be drowned in the bathtub, and that the semblance of procedure be followed. Bush could have released the documents the Senate asked for, and Bolton would probably be confirmed in a month or two.
