It doesn't matter whether or not Bolton is part of the 'deal'.

Filibustering an executive branch nominee, essentially a cabinet appointment, is even more ridiculous and untenable than filibustering a judicial nominee. They WILL not win on a nuke vote there: if they even try it, McLame and Hitlery will make sure that Frist gets at least 50 votes Aye.

No one who has any aspirations of being president wants their picks for Cabinet positions subject to the whims of the 40 "whackiest" Senators from the other side of the aisle.

Bill Moyers is probably upset today, which means I'm elated.
