What ever happened with Bolton?

[Must_B_Free]

I thought that was some pressing issue tat HAD to be brought to vote immediately. He couldn;t even wait for a recess appointment.

Well where the hell has that gone? I haven't heard hid name in weeks!

1. They are waiting for us to forget about him so that Bolton can

quietly withdraw his name from the nomination process, due to "pressing family issues" or "undocumented nanny issues", etc etc.

3. They are waiting for us to forget about him so that Bolton can

quietly be confirmed.

[Nickster]

9. They could have done that over the last recess, but they didn't....

[TheFarseer]

14. Maybe they wanted to wait til the next recess

so everyone will have forgotten about this and it wouldn't look so sneaky?

[Nickster]

16. Yeah, but if you can do it without anyone stopping you, why wait?

When have they ever been concerned about looking sneaky? Not a darn thing any of us could do about it.

4. Exactly Nick

the repubs are always going to spend more time with their familys when they get canned

6. You mean his extended family at Plato's Retreat?

or perhaps the Bunny Ranch, where he sells Moustache Rides for 5 cents?

[Nickster]

5. Now that KKKarl Rove is going to be consumed

with legal issues, it will be interesting to see if the various spins and deceits coming out of the administration are less ...um.... sophisticated.

11. Awaiting inditement in Plamegate?

12. He has to be toast now. Bush needs to save chits for the SCOTUS ...

... nomination.

[ThomWV]

13. Standing By For The Next Recess of the Senate

At which time Bush will apoint him

[bluestateguy]

15. I think his nomination will quietly vanish

Political capital cannot be wasted on an appointee with little real power for a job that will last for 3 1/2 years max. But he won't just go away. The neoconservatives have a permanent revolving door between the Bush Administration, the AEI, PNAC, Heritage Foundation and all the other cleverly named think tanks. My guess is that by this time next year he'll be making $200,000 a year to publish rambling columns for some neo-con think thank.
