The right-wing blogosphere is in meltdown over the loss of their beloved John Bolton. Redstate: The good news just keeps on coming these days. John Bolton has tendered his resignation, and President Bush has “reluctantly” accepted it. I admit to a little frustraton with Mr. Bush on this; while I know confirming Mr. Bolton in […]
TPMmuckraker: Ah, the Man with the Iron Mustache is leaving the international arena — but not before attempting a thoroughly embarrassing and wholly unsympathetic maneuver.
