John Bolton on edge

My main source of entertainment over the past few days has been the John Bolton affair. Seems the Republicans aren't so united after all. But that's what happens when you have an overwhelming mandate, the moderate wing starts to assert itself. And the opposition is leaner and meaner. Doesn't help that Bush's ratings are so low, either...

Don't miss out on the backstory - all those anecdotes about Bolton. Chasing a woman down the corridors of a Russian hotel, the North Koren denunciation etc. Bolton seems a thoroughly unpleasant guy, but it's funny how they're getting to him on character issues rather than policy issues. I would have loved to see his reaction when the Senate Committee deferred the vote. That's the problem with having a temper - people complain about it, which makes you even angrier...
