Just yesterday the Tehran Times, yep, a newspaper in the capitol of Iran, published an editorial against John Bolton. That paper, whose keen interest in the longterm benefit of the United States is self-evident, called Bolton "the wrong man at the wrong time."

Any member of the Senate who does not ask him/herself whether it is wise to be on the same side of an issue as the mad mullahs in Iran, is a fool. I assume that the White House has made copies of the Iranian counter-endorsement of Bolton available to all members of the Committee and the Senate.

It's going to be close, but I hope Frist has the votes. But given a choice between losing this vote and losing a judicial vote, the latter is more important.

I am not sure I would put that much stock in the GOP adamantly defending themselves (and us). Their track-record on that particular issue, is far from reassuring.
