let's see what wackjob bush nominates now

White House finally accepts defeat on John Bolton
CNN is reporting that Bolton is toast. Finally.

AP confirms:
Unable to win Senate confirmation, U.N. Ambassador John Bolton will step down when his recess appointment expires soon, the White House said Monday.

Bolton's nomination has languished in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for more than a year, blocked by Democrats and several Republicans.
