WASHINGTON - Frustrated by Democrats and even a few Republicans, President Bush on Monday circumvented the Senate and appointed embattled nominee John Bolton to be ambassador to the United Nations.“He is the right man for the job,” Bush told reporters at the White House. “This post is too important to leave vacant any longer, especially during a war and a vital debate about U.N. reform.”
We're at war? I thought it was just a struggle. Don't you just love the fact that he had to do an "end-run" around a chamber of Congress that his party controls? Jeebus.
