What is next?
Does Bolton now go out in public and work to clear his name?
The dems made a big deal out of being able to call Bolton back. I hope they do.
I'm not sure what his strategy will be. I'll be interested to see if others, like Dr. Rice, speak out on his behalf first.
I certainly agree with everyone this was awful, but I don't think it's over yet and there's still hope.
The Republicans better get their act in gear. This smearing of good people (we can all hark back to Bork and Clarence Thomas and so on) needs to be dealt with. Bork lost, but Thomas won (and remember the wringer the dems put their former colleague, John Ashcroft, through? And he made it and that was in doubt at one point). They'd better spend these weeks addressing this and getting these weaklings in line, too.
