With President Bush telling the Senate to "put politics aside and confirm John Bolton," the NYT and WP both front Colin Powell chatting with some fence-sitting Republican senators and giving a less-than-rosy assessment of Bolton. The chatter was confirmed by a spokesman for Powell. He didn't explicitly call for Bolton's defeat, but Powell didn't have to, purportedly saying Bolton "had problems" with people who disagreed with him.
from slate's today's papers
bolton has problems with those who disagree with him huh.
what KIND of problems are they?
but nontheless, isn't it just like bush to put patsie yes-men (and in the case of condi, yes-women) into positions of power? that's what dictators DO for chrissake.
