There goes Chafee's ambassadorship to Bermuda.

And the games begin.

Sen. Lincoln Chafee, R-R.I., who was defeated by Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse on Tuesday, told reporters in Rhode Island on Thursday that he would continue opposing Bolton.

And a RINO to the end...

[My2Cents]

LOL. Make him ambassador to Sudan.

[My2Cents]

That would deny Republicans the votes they would need to move Bolton's nomination from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to the full Senate.

Move the nomination to the floor. Come on, Republicans! For once in this stinking Congress, show some backbone!

Scorched-Earth policy in effect, I see. Thanks, Chafee. You were useless until the end.

[furquhart]

Throw Chafee off the Committee.

[KarlInOhio]

What are the Dems' real complaints about Bolton? The only thing I can figure is that he doesn't have his nose up Annan's backside and the Dems want someone who will sell out the US's interests in favor of the UN's.

[quidnunc]

There was talk of appointing Bolton to some State Dept. post which doesn't require Senate confirmation and then making him acting ambassador to the UN.

[ConservativeMind]

We need only 50 votes. Bolton isn't a bill, so in theory, filibusters can't stick.

[The Iceman Cometh]

Don't send another ambassador, just send a moving van and get out of that rat hole.

Sen. Lincoln Chafee, R-R.I., ...told reporters in Rhode Island on Thursday that he would continue opposing Bolton.

I am glad he's gone. I just wish we could have kept the Senate without him.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Chafee's constant volunteering to be a "pivot man" for the DemocRATS is why he'll be going home in January.

[nickcarraway]

How weak is Bush? He did more for Chaffee, than any other Senator for this election, and yet he can't even get Chaffee to do something for him.

[Obadiah]

Honestly, has there ever been a Republican who was give so much - money, support, etc. and who so viciously STABBED us in the back, time after time??

[Past Your Eyes]

Yeah he's "pivotal" all right. Pivot man is more like it.

[DTogo]

A major reason the GOP lost: RINOs

[lilylangtree]

Good God! Bubba Clintoon will be replacin' John Bolton. Halloweenie will be comin' early.

[RichardW]

Frankly, I was not unhappy to see Chaffee go down. What a weasel. Not worth a bucket of warm spit.

[zendari]

Time for some lame duck Congress legislation. Force him through.

[Steven W.]

Chafee confirming everything ever suspected about him.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

Bolton is an embarrasment to the democrats because he's accomplished more in 3 months at the UN, than any of the dem nominated ones have in their lifetimes.

But a corrupt den of theives style UN (Pre-Bolton) is a ally to the democrats and thats what they are going to push for. I bet they already have some liberal islam appeasing pacifist they plan to place in there.
