News reports indicate that President Bush has appointed neo-conservative waterboy John Bolton to be Ambassador to the United Nations.
In confirmation hearings Bolton was described as having a classic "kiss up, kick down" personality. There's plenty more about Bolton in James Mann's Rise of the Vulcans: The History of Bush's War Cabinet.
It looks like our Emporer picked up a few pointers from Bolton on how to deal with his underlings at the United States Senate. Since they wouldn't confirm him, he gave Bolton a "recess appointment." Thus kicking down at the Senate and kissing up to the neo-conservative empire builders in his administration.
In an administration replete with examples of abysmally poor judgment in making appointments to positions of vital importance, this stands out as one of the worst. I would say it was the worst, but Bush has still got 3 1/2 more years to top it.

Bubba,
I think you need to re-examine your allegiances.
That's the most loving thing that I can say to you.
Bubba, back to heckle by this name. Get a life. If you don't like the comments made here change the channel.
Hi!
What's wrong with THIS PARTICULAR appointment is that there were serious doubts on both sides of the senate about whether Bolton was the right man for the job. There will be some Republicans disappointed by this also.
By the way, Dr. Prescott have you ever visited the public christian website? You might want to visit.
God Bless,
