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.

Ha! Me too, again.

Thanks. That is exactly the crap I was looking for. I have some background on that group that I'll hunt up and post asap. Thanks again.
