Bolton ambassador to the UN

President Bush today used a recess appointment to sidestep the U.S. Senate and install John Bolton as ambassador to the United Nations.

Before anyone starts crying "abuse" and criticizing Bush for exceeding his powers:

Clinton made recess appointments for everything from the judiciary, to a controversial ambassador, to three seats on a library commission and others. The Dems are either lying, or have less than four years of historical memory and no access to the internet. I'll let you decide which. [this refers to the Dems reaction to Pickering's recess appointment, but it will be the same, I bet]

Anyway, I look forward to see Bolton at the UN.
