The Bolton Filibuster: Another Idea...

The editorial board at OpinionJournal.com offers this alternative to a recess appointment for Bolton:

Send White House National Security Adviser Steve Hadley to the U.N. and give Mr. Hadley's current job, which isn't subject to Senate confirmation, to Mr. Bolton. As a soft-spoken type, Mr. Hadley will have no trouble being confirmed, and no one at the U.N. will doubt he has Mr. Bush's ear. Meantime, the swap will send a message to Democrats that they can't deny Mr. Bush the foreign-policy advisers he wants.

On principle, I'd almost prefer he leave the post vacant.
