WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush may use a recess appointment early next week to install John Bolton as ambassador to the United Nations, two senior administration officials told CNN Thursday.

The move would likely inflame some Democrats who have said Bolton doesn't have the temperament to hold the U.N. post.

The administration officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, refused to put an exact time frame on when the recess appointment might occur.

But they suggested the White House is planning to make the move as early as next week.

1. If he gets installed as UN ambassador...

He should be tarred, feathered and thrwn out of New York the minute he sets foot on the UN complex.

2. It's not only Democrats who will be inflamed.

The U.N. will be pretty pissed off as well.
