Has anyone risen to defend this guy ?

Sure,

your #1 recruited Kerry VP candidate in the last election says Bolton is the kind of guy we need!

Mr. Bolton, it seems to me, has what it takes for the job.

It’s clear that I am not the only one who believes this. The list of respected foreign policy experts who support Mr. Bolton’s nomination is much too long to enumerate here. But let me cite just a few: Former Secretary of State James Baker has called Mr. Bolton “the right man for the job” and former Secretary Lawrence Eagleberger has written a recent op-ed praising him. Henry Kissinger, Frank Carlucci, and George Shultz, among others, have urged Mr. Bolton’s quick confirmation, and a string of former ambassadors have done the same.

Bush presses Senate to approve Bolton vote


John Bolton is going to be confirmed

The U.S. Senate will confirm John Bolton as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations when it returns from a weeklong recess and Democratic requests for more information are "just an excuse" to further delay, Vice President Dick Cheney said on Monday.
