Still no response.

You don't suppose she's engaging in "Cut and Run" tactics, do you?

Here is a piece from a conservative about Bolton. I disagree with most of what this person has to say but his comments are interesting. http://thehill.com/thehill/export/TheHill/Comment/ByronYork/120706.html

Who killed Bolton? Not the Dems — the GOP, that’s who

Well, they finally got him. John Bolton is out as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

National Review, The Wall Street Journal editorial page, and other conservative commentators have already listed some of the people who count this a victory: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong Il, Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.).

But they didn’t cause Bolton’s demise. No, this unhappy moment can be traced entirely to Republicans, who did not confirm Bolton when they had 55 votes in the Senate.....

And don’t blame Democrats. They were wrong to oppose the nomination, but they’re the opposition party. They opposed.

The truth is, the Bolton matter was an entirely Republican-made fiasco.

It could be the last one for a while, because starting next month, Republicans won’t have much power over the confirmation process.

They should have done the right thing when they had the chance.

Again, the author is wrong on his facts in a number of ways but it is interesting that he is pointing the finger of blame at the GOP.

Bolton is not going to be a Faux news reporter but is going to work for the AEI. http://news.scotsman.com/international.cfm?id=1834342006

He now intends to work at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, speak, consult and "replenish the coffers after six years of public service".

Bolton would have been amusing on Faux.
