Bolton In, Democracy Out

We all knew it was coming:

President Bush sidestepped the U.S. Senate on Monday and installed controversial nominee John Bolton as ambassador to the United Nations, saying the post was "too important to leave vacant any longer."

Speaking at the White House, Bush said he was sending Bolton to the United Nations with his "complete confidence."


Of course Bolton has Bush's complete confidence (of corruption), which is why Bush withheld
documents that Democrats wanted before they would give Bolton his confirmation hearings. Looks like Bush has a lot to hide. The silver lining is that Bolton will not get any of his reforms done at the UN because global trust and sentiment for America is as high as sentiment for the clap.
