Washpost: Bolton May Accept Recess Appointment

[Elidor]

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."

(snip)
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

(snip)
"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.

1. Isn't this administration under "criminal investigation"?

And he is still going to blast Bolton in, huh? What a bunch of crap. We, the people, shouldn't allow him to do any of this BS! If someone has impeachment papers they better file them ASAP!

Peace.

2. Bolton needs not to be our UN ambassador

he is corrupt, evil and needs to go!

3. Oh, I Am So Surprised.

Shocked, I Tell You. Shocked! :eyes:

What a nimrod. Can't get his appointments through so sneaks 'em in the back door. :eyes:

And Bolton's already worried about OFFICE SPACE? :rofl: Jackass. But we knew that. :P

9. John Bolton?

....... he is too much

The man played with himself as he forced his first wife to have
sex with strangers @ a swingers club ...... WHAT A CREEP

Look if the people are adults and nobody is hurt and they
are both agreeable fine; but in Bolton's case that was close to
torture.

This really is a group of thugs & crooks ..... and "they" also
have the gall to play the Jesus card too. :puke:

Florida 2000 "I am John Bolton from Bush/Cheney stop the count."

4. proof

that DUH-bya is a small, sniveling, ankle-biting wiener. It would be so nice to have a MAN in the WH.

5. I wonder if the UN could refuse to seat him

Just a thought.

6. this is

lame lame lame lame lame lame lame

7. Howdy!

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[startingnow]

8. Isn't this going to look worse for them?

They had to go this route just to get him through?

[aquart]

10. Can you wait for the first time Bolton embarrasses even Bush?

Because I don't see how he can avoid it.

[peace frog]

14. Bushies don't give a crap how it "looks"

as long as they get their way. And they get their way any way they can get it, saluting us with their middle finger all the way.

12. Please, Junior, please do this!

An act of pure arrogance like this would convert so many fence-sitters. Our Little Dictator needs to be seen as the haughty self-proclaimed monarch that he thinks he is, and the rest of the world needs to see the deep ugliness of this mob.

Do it.

You know you want to.

[WhiteTara]

13. you mean Bolton may slither under the threshold

of the back door. This makes it sounds like he is graciously accepting a position that he has declined several times, rather than having been denied continually. These creatures have got to go!

[Elidor]

15. I don't put much faith in this story

I think this is someone close to Bolt-On saying he'd accept a recess appointment, hell yes, anything at all. Beyond that and the very believable scenario regarding office space, there's nothing new in here.
