Hello there. While I do not disagree that Bolton should not get confirmed, I have to admit that I view the reasoning behind the nomination a bit differently than you.

It was clearly a big "f*ck you!" from Bush to the UN to even nominate him, and I am appalled that he is even being considered.
Personally, I don’t think that Dubya is bright enough to have thought that nominating Bolton as UN Ambassador would be a big middle finger to the UN. I think he is doing it to the Democrats.
I think he just wants to show everybody that he can get whatever the hell he wants. He nominates a guy that he knows will piss off the Democrats but says kiss my assI want him and I’m gonna get him and there’s nothing you can do about it.
That’s why I do not want Bolton to get the votes. Bolton is a dick, and even George knows it, but he wants to show how tough he is by getting his man the Ambassadorship none-the-less. Look, even a number of Republicans admit that he’s not really the best man for the jobbut what do you wanna bet that they will show absolutely no integrity whatsoever and vote for him anyway.
Anyway, that’s just my humble little opinion. And, heymy wife just bought her first horse!
