Bush doesn't need Chaffee. Dems are in on this deal

Biden is going around telling the media that the Bolton nomination is dead.

Democratic Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware, the expected chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in a Democrat-led Senate, said on Wednesday he thought Bolton's nomination was "going nowhere."

"I never saw a real enthusiasm on the Republican side to begin with. There's none on our side," Biden said.

Either Biden didn't get the memo on the deal or the deal is with Chafee.

Will be an interesting vote. Even if the deal was with the Dems, Chafee has to take his procedural hold off Bolton for the nomination to go to a vote. If Chafee ends up with a cushy government job, we will all know how he got it.
