Maybe "Johnny Cakes" Bolton can go to N.H. in January & open an antique store with Harriet Miers...

Sorry...in the process of kicking The Decider while he's down, I attempted a "Triple Crown"...Bolton, Miers, AND a thinly-veiled "Sopranos" reference. My bad!

Bolton unlikely to win Senate approval

Recess appointment term as U.N. ambassador expires in January

WASHINGTON - Prospects for extending John Bolton's job as U.N. ambassador essentially died Thursday as Democrats and a pivotal Republican said they would continue to oppose the nomination.

It was another blow to President Bush two days after Democrats triumphed in elections that will give them control of Congress next year. On Wednesday, Bush had announced that Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, a polarizing figure and face of the Iraq war, would step down.

On Thursday the White House resubmitted Bolton's nomination to the Senate, where the appointment has languished for more than a year. Bush appointed him to the job temporarily in August 2005 while Congress was in recess, an appointment that will expire in January.

Sen. Lincoln Chafee, R-R.I., who was defeated by Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse on Tuesday, told reporters in Rhode Island on Thursday that he would continue opposing Bolton. That would deny Republicans the votes they would need to move Bolton's nomination from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to the full Senate.
