Then I'll add my own "I told you so", since I am on record as saying that Bolton would be voted in and there was no worry about it.

Several days ago, after the second day of Mr. Bolton's testimony there was a news item about the possibility that one of his in-house detractors from the DOS had some serious credibility problems given his or her constant complaints about other supervisors...do you happen to remember that or could you point me toward that piece...it was just a blurb and I've not seen it again in the press.

Thanks.

I did hear today that a woman who complained turns out to run a "Mothers Against Bush" outfit in Texas and is a self-proclaimed democrat (not that there's anything wrong with that) who appeared on Air America to claim Bolton would get testy and it was "creepy".

If I find an article I'll link it here.

The Fox story in print now:

Senate Panel Readies for Bolton Vote

excerpts:

Chairman Richard Lugar of Indiana took the unusual step on Monday of releasing his statement in support of Bolton one day early. In it, he said that his panel has fully vetted allegations that disputes over weapons of mass destruction programs may have led Bolton to bully government specialists with whom he disagreed.

Biden said he wants to review a new charge that Bolton allegedly harassed a woman named Melody Townsel 11 years ago when Bolton was in the private sector and Townsel was a U.S. government humanitarian aid subcontractor. Townsel told her story last week on Air America, the liberal talk radio network.

"He was not just very difficult to deal with, but abusive, confrontational and ended up kind of chugging some things in a meeting and pounding on hotel doors and trotting across hotel lobbies to get to me, and it was just uncomfortable and kind of creepy," Townsel said.

(me rolling my eyes)

Bolton's backers deny the charge, and no one has surfaced to corroborate it. Townsel is a self-described liberal Democrat and organizer of a Dallas chapter of Mothers Opposing Bush.

(I was wrong, the group is Opposing Bush so they have a nifty acronym of MOB instead of MAB if they had gone with "Against")

Lugar's statement said Bolton has answered all relevant questions about his conduct.
