Bye-bye, Yosemite Sam: John Bolton to leave as US Ambassador to UN!

Posted on December 4, 2006 by

Bolton
Just saw this on the news wire, John Bolton is stepping down as US Ambassador to the UN, in the wake of strong bi-partisan Congressional opposition.  Woo hoo! 

Last week I had blogged that Bush was re-nominating the UN-bashing "diplomatic" to the top ambassador slot.  With the incumbent Democrat-dominated Senate, Bolton was going to face stiff opposition, and President Bush had few procedural tactics left to keep Bolton in his position, having already done a recess appointment.  So clearly Mr. Bolton had been "asked" to fall on his own sword.

Bye-bye, Bolton.  Don’t let the Security Council doors slap you on the ass on your way out.
