I have a feeling the only real qualification required is ability to cover up scandals and block investigations. I'll bet Bolton is a real thorn in the side over there. At least, I hope he is.
The Democrats want a person as Ambassador to the UN who would be a Kofi Annan sycophant walking around with his head up Kofi's butt and saying Yassuh all the imte . To me Bolton is perfect just for the reason he wont do that.
