Kerry On Bolton
Beltway Buzz Eric Pfeiffer Reporting

John Kerry has put out his own statement on Bolton’s nomination:

"Mr. Bolton's nomination carries with it baggage we cannot afford. This is just about the most inexplicable appointment the President could make to represent the United States to the world community.

"If the President is serious about reaching out to the world, why would he choose someone who has expressed such disdain for working with our allies?
Corzine Lashes Out At Bolton
03/07 02:54 PM

Jon Corzine has come out swinging at the nomination of John Bolton for U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Corzine cites the administration’s “needless confrontations with the rest of the world” and insinuates Bolton’s nomination will weaken international relations:

“He is responsible as much as any member of the Administration for the needless confrontations with the rest of the world … As one of the Administration’s most outspoken proponents of unilateralism, John Bolton could well be a roadblock to addressing any of these critical priorities.”

This was a similar criticism before Condoleezza Rice’s first trip abroad as Secretary of State and will hopefully carry as little weight. In the meantime, we'll have to wait and see what other Democrats are saying.
