hey, a good opportunity to put into practice all the luncheon smoozing that went on today.

[.cnI redruM]

I wonder what other niceties The President and The Speaker discussed over tea and crumpets. Every so often, GWB finds ways to tie the Dems into knots.

Moving to make China's MFN status conditional would have the Nancy Pelosi faction and the Sherrod Brown faction of the Democratic Party at one another's jugulars.

[ElkGroveDan]

Ah great strategy. Setting up the 2008 campaign issues right now.

[stevie_d_64]

Fabulous timing!!! Smooth move...

Should go through like cheese in my digestive system...

The good thing with this nomination now is the Pubbies have nothing to lose.. there is no reason not to invoke the nuclear option anymore.

[Moose4]

Good. Serve the ball in their court and MAKE THEM OBSTRUCT. He's got one more chance to get Bolton through, nothing to be lost by going for it.

Suck it down, Plugs. Game on, indeed.

Frist needs to grow a pair and step up to the plate swinging the nuclear option. Nothing to lose, now.

[NonValueAdded]

I would be astounded if the RATs didn't bottle this up in order to "let the new Congress execute the will of the people." Will the RATs dare the republicans to invoke the nuclear option, just in time to let them wield it for two plus years?

Even before seeing this, with the rumors about Bolton, I thought one possible scenario would be that Bush asked Bolton for his resignation, and Bolton said "No."

[Road Warrior ‘04]

I was truly wondering if he would be put up for a vote before the new Congress meets. My questions have been answered. Now, to get him approved. I think, with the Republicans losing the election, this will be their last hurrah before adjourning.

[DoughtyOne]

Way to go Mr. President.

[popdonnelly]

Bolton has done a good job. We will see if the Democrats demand his head as the price of "making nicey" with the Bush Administration. I believe the Dems would prefer it if the UN were treated with unthinking reverence.

[weegee]

Good news considering there was talk of the Dhims rejecting Bolton. Full speed ahead.

[Landru]

Why the hurry?

...why-why-why.

[msnimje]

Chafee better do the right thing.

[airborne]

Bolton = snowball

Senate = Hades

[pabianice]

Geez, Bolton must feel like a piniata.

[tobyhill]

No Plan for Bolton Confirmation in Senate

Bolton is done so the Rats had better have a plan to get NK back to 6 party talks and Iran disarmed. It's on them now.

[Bush gal in LA]

I think I heard the other day President Bush can just do another recess appointment again. Did I hear wrong?
