Yesterday, I had unfortunately heard on NPR that the Bolton vote would go to the Senate floor despite the reservations of Voinovich.
Voinovich had previously prevented the Senate up-or-down vote , but allowed it out of committee this time after personally speaking with Condi Rice when she assured him that Bolton would be under her constant supervision.
The punchline is that later, Voinovich said he regrets not asking why she would back a candidate that NEEDS CONSTANT SUPERVISON.
Meanwhile, pundits are saying that the approval of this nomination will be an affirmation of the President's political mandate. If Bush can constantly feed the American public bullshit, then cram in this little piece of distasteful filth and call it dessert, what else can't he do? Let's remember here that Bolton couldn't even get a letter of recommendation from his former boss (Colin Powell), and that really speaks volumes.
