Click on the title for a post by Dionysus at the Daily Dissent blog, about the prospect of John Bolton being named to the UN post on a temporary basis. It is a short piece, but it poses an interesting question that I think I can answer.Temporary basis. Could you please define "temporary basis."
Answer: When the Senate gives him an up or down vote.

I think the President (of any administration), should be able to appoint who they want, or at least get a vote. But curiosity here, what is the deal with Bolton, why are they so stuck on him? He isnt that qualified, and I think Bush should save something for other upcomming supream court issues
I can't agree with "G" that Bolton is underqualified. Please suggest someone who you think better understands the problem with the UN and how to deal with it.
We've had plenty of more diplomatic types go up there and just make nice all the while the UN undermines us and sends us the bill.
Enough!
If you haven't seen the shouting match Bolton got into with a Euro-weanie, it may convince you that he IS the right man for the job. The video was put out by a group to discredit Bolton, but had the opposite effect on me:
