"...Richard Holbrooke, who Republicans delayed for 14 months as Bill Clinton's nominee to the U.N., refused to bypass the Senate with a recess appointment, saying that it would introduce him to the world body with no credibility or authority.

Holbrooke understood that the job and massive responsibility that go with being America's chief diplomat outweigh personal ambition and political agenda. In other words, “country first, me second.”

Given that selfishness has always been a central tenet of Republican ideology, should we have expected Bolton to show Holbrooke's wisdom, humility and class?..."

Adults who take their responsibilities seriously and children who take zero responsibility for anything. Who knew Republicans were so juvenile.

Bolton like the S.C. nominee have one thing in common, qualified by way of going to Florida to help bush steal the election.
