No Plan for Bolton Confirmation in Senate

WASHINGTON � U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton won't get a hearing before the 109th Congress adjourns, effectively killing any chance he would have of being confirmed for his post.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,228498,00.html


The first of many casualties as a result of Tuesday's Dark Fall has been noticed. Chaffee's being an idiot, but the Dems are going to be even more so. Bolton is the best man for the job, and now his job will soon be expiring and the Dems won't let him get a decent shot. They never have. Grrr.

Funny you should mention Chafee.:

Quote:
Chafee May Leave GOP
"Two days after losing a bid for a second term in an election seen as a referendum on President Bush and the Republican Party, Sen. Lincoln Chafee said he was unsure whether he'd remain a Republican," the AP reports.

When asked whether he felt that his loss may have helped the country by switching control of power in Congress, he replied: "To be honest, yes."


Too bad the Republicans spend $5 million on the senate race in Rhode Island.

Yeah, definitely. Told you he was a liberal Republican. I don't like him one bit. The only reason I wish he'd won is because we need a GOP Congress. Otherwise, I'd chuck the fool out.

Biden's saying right now that it's because of some documents the administration didn't let them see, but that really wasn't it. They filibustered him and everything. I don't know their real motives, but that's not it. Bush had to use a recess appointment to get him to the position. I think the Dems just don't want a strong man who will work hard in America's interest to serve in the United Nations. They want someone who'll follow France and Germany's bidding.

I prefer maturity, and that we stay on topic.
