John Bolton and Mr. Milquetoast

And so it goes. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is sending the nomination of John Bolton to the Senate. However, they refused to endorse him, which I understand doesn't happen very often, and is considered a "slap at George Bush."

Earlier, George Voinovich had some reservations about Bolton's nomination and said "his conscience got to him."

Voinovich called Bolton "the poster child of what someone in the diplomatic corps should not be." He said Bolton would be fired if he was in the private sector.

But today, he decided to vote with the rest of his party and send the nomination to the Senate.

Other members of the committe poo-pooed Voinovich's and the Democrats' concerns.

"We are not electing Mr. Congeniality. We do not need Mr. Milquetoast," said Sen. George Allen (news, bio, voting record), R-Va., arguing that Bolton would be an effective agent for change at the United Nations."

So for those of you that might get Bolton and Mr. Milquetoast confused, here's a pictorial.


This is John Bolton doing
something other than forcing
his wife to have group sex.



And this is Mr. Milquetoast,
a clown from the Houston area.
