Your post. #1489. :
Bolton always appeared to me as fairly rock solid. We have to consider the environment in which he worked. He may have been pulling hard as hell to the right the admin he was in and got nowhere. I am living that right now trying to drag the Luddite department I work in to adopt a bare minimum database application to keep test records.
I like him, and being around the block a few times myself, I put great value in hiring “gray hair”. There ain’t no substitute...just like NASCAR talks about cubic inches.
I like your take, EMI. Yea, I agree with you on Bolton. He always seemed like one of the few right wingers in the Bush Administration. I know what it’s like too, to go against an entrenched culture in a workplace.
