But an administration source who is close to Bolton said that Bolton is prepared to accept a recess appointment next month unless the administration and Senate Democrats can resolve differences that have held up the confirmation for four months.
"He'll take the recess" appointment, said the administration source, who is familiar with Bolton's thinking. "The president has made his selection, and the president is asking the Senate to confirm the selection, and if the Senate refuses to do that, then most assuredly will make a recess appointment."

Two months ago, while his confirmation was in trouble, Bolton began efforts to double the office space reserved within the State Department for the ambassador to the United Nations, according to three senior department officials who were involved in handling the request

"Bolton isn't going to sit in New York while policy gets made in Washington," the administration source said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the source lacks authorization to discuss this on the record. (Bullshit anonymous source of the day.) But Bolton's efforts to obtain more space have encountered resistance. Two colleagues said Bolton's request was inappropriate because he had not been confirmed.

This dolt hasn't even been confirmed yet and he is already doubling the size of his bureaucratic ass - what arrogance?
I don't know what will be more tragic, the right-wing media sure to spin this appointment like Bolton had unquestionable support from a majority of the Senate, or the fact that Bolton is such an important piece of the future 'Iran-Syria plan' the administration is setting up against the U.N., they don't care what anyone thinks anymore.
