Bolton's ex is diplomatic John Bolton can breathe easier. Critics of President Bush's would-be UN ambassador have been buzzing this week that he could be haunted by his first marriage, to Christina Moser Bolton - who, so far, hasn't been mentioned in profiles of the nominee. Steven Clemons writes on his blog, TheWashingtonNote.com, that "the media should investigate questions about [Christina] ... and what some of their friends consider quite cruel treatment by him of their relationship." Clemons also writes that, during their marriage, the "hyper-conservative John Bolton" was "also allegedly involved in somewhat risqué private behavior." Clemons doesn't go into any more detail, saying he'd rather stick to "intellectual and policy differences." The good news for Bolton is that his ex isn't in any hurry to fill in the blanks. Christina, who served in the first Bush administration as a deputy assistant commerce secretary, tells us, "What happens in a marriage should remain between the two people." Foes of Bolton, whose spokesman declined comment, may see Christina as an ally. But the international-trade consultant won't say boo about the nomination of her husband of 10 years. She does scoff at any suggestion of "risqué private behavior." "No way," says Christina. "He's a real straight guy."
