Boltons back!!


Frist & McCain to Address John Bolton Nomination Tomorrow Morning, 10:30 a.m.

Something seems to be breaking on the Bolton battle. The White House may be yielding on evidence requests and communicating this through John McCain. Or they may be announcing that they think they have enough votes on cloture? Or -- though I seriously doubt it -- they may be throwing in the towel.

However, the most likely scenario to me is that the White House is yielding on something and letting McCain take credit.

Tomorrow a press advisory meeting has been called in Senator Frist's office at 10:30 a.m.

1. Hey, snowbird42, thanks for the information
I keep wanting Bolton's name to disappear and never come back.

4. I had hoped
He'd go away
Read the comments under the link. Everyone feels the same way.
I just dread us losing any more battles.

2. What would be in it for the WH
to let McCain take credit for anything. Especially jointly with Frist, who looks weak to begin with.

10. Frist would be the one with the knife in his back
planted there by one kkkarl rove back during the schindler family scrum and squabble with their son-in-law.

Frist is dead meat. McCain may soon be. Its all part of the grand scheme.

3. Maybe they'll submit Michael Bolton's name and hope

6. Well, they almost have to have something to divert attention Thursday
This might be step 1. Step 1 of what, I don't know.

7. Bolton is simply the Republican fist with its middle finger held erect ...

they think McCain will soften his appeal, or in this case, lack of.
