Claudia Rosett has
pointed out the problem with another recess appointment for Amb Bolton and has the solution:
If Congress is absolutely determined to reject the best UN ambassador
the world has seen in about a quarter of a century — John Bolton — then
the only alternative if President Bush wants to keep him is another
recess appointment. For that, Bolton would have to work without pay.
It’s enough to make a person want to suggest that if you really care
about trying to do some good in the world via the UN, stop sending your
kids out to collect for UNICEF, and start sending them out to collect
donations to keep John Bolton in office. Bolton, from everything I have
seen, is far more honest and competent on every level than UNICEF, any
of the other UN agencies, or most of the senior staff walking the halls
of the UN, let alone many of the UN ambassadors whose limos cruise the
streets of New York.
I think we could do this if we have to. BTW Hugh is in too. He has a lot of support.
