Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

"...color me suspicious..."

Roger Simon:

I have no personal knowledge of John Bolton or of the degree to which the administration's nominee for UN ambassador is a hothead who mistreats subordinates, but color me suspicious he is much worse than the clowns who sit in judgment of him on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Meanwhile, this political game is being played out against a backdrop of escalating and seemingly endless corruption at the UN itself, which makes the question of Bolton's manners into a ludicrous sideshow. With Kofi Annan's adviser Canadian businessman Maurice Strong under fire, his Chef de Cabinet having resigned for destroying three-year's worth of documents, his first-ever deputy secretary general under a cloud for enabling 8-billion dollars worth of embezzlement (of money for starving children!), his own son having profiteered off the same scandal (not to mention the mother-of-all corrupt UN sleaze bags Benon Sevan and all the others we will soon know about), if Kofi himself isn't guilty, he's the only one in the Sectariat Building who isn't.

The Democrats are abusing Bolton and the confirmation process in a more egregious fashion than any of Bolton's alleged abuses of "inteligence analyst." Rush Limbaugh just played a montage of Biden's remarks that sound like an abusive and incoherent rant. I have never seen any Bolton remarks that sound that bad.
