The nomination of John Bolton to be United States Ambassador to the United Nations once again demonstrates the tactical brilliance of the national Democrats. Until the campaign against him was in full bloom, I had never suspected that personal abruptness, a demanding nature as a boss, a bit of a temper, and the willingness to push back against recalcitrant subordinates were disqualifiers for high public office. In fact, I had suspected the opposite: that in a universe of civil service-protected bureaucrats a degree of vehemence might be a considerable plus. If that's all Bolton was, the author might be right. However, he is much, much more than that. Its pathetic how your writers work so hard to pervert the truth.
