If Bolton is as tough as they portray him, he will get nominated.
Is anyone else as sick as I am of all these endless manhood insults of honorable politicians?
Winning in politics is not about getting your way on the small issues, it's about the big picture.
The Bolton nomination is part of a bigger picture. If Bush cannot have a GOP Senate confirm his nominee to the UN, which has always been recognized as a place where the Executive has the most control, then Bush is a lame duck. Bush will be a toothless tiger that no one will fear, and we might as well just focus on 2008.
