Maybe now we can fill the 2nd most important diplomatic office in the U.S. with someone who has posesses some measure of diplomacy...or at least isn't a complete asshole.
Another victim of the Demo victory in the mid-terms....
Doesn't stand a chance at confirmation
The AussieNew York -- NewsMax has learned that U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton will likely leave his post next month.
After a rocky series of Senate confirmation hearings, Bolton was sent to the U.N. by President Bush in August 2005 under a recess appointment. That allowed the president to bypass Senate confirmation while it was in recess, but the appointee could only serve for the length of the current Congress which is set to expire at year's end.
There had been indications that Bolton might win Senate confirmation after the election when several key votes might be open to favoring Bolton. But the GOP's apparent loss of the Senate has doomed that hope.
"This nomination is dead and we have known it for several days," a source close to the U.S. mission to the U.N. tells NewsMax.

Rummy and Bolton were Bush's two hugest mistakes.
