Bolton Nomination on Hold

We're relieved to see the nomination of John Bolton as El Presidente's ambassador to the United Nations in such disarray, with Republican George Voinovich of Ohio (of all people!) pulling the plug yesterday on what might have been a straight party-line vote to approve the white-mustachioed thug in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

It's always nice when Newsweek magazine's "conventional wisdom" gets its comeuppance. Newsweek said Bolton would be easily confirmed because he's a thug and bully. That's the measure of Newsweek's cynicism about this current regime.
