Bolton has left the committee...

With "no recommendation", the Senate Foreign Relations Committee finally voted 10-8 to send John Bolton's nomination to the full body for an up or down vote as U.N. Ambassador.

The Democrats ultimately lose because Bolton is all but assured confirmation in the Senate. But they got their pound of flesh. If he were a lesser man, John Bolton would be hobbled and sufficiently wounded in his new job. But the fact that he has the fortitude to bring the United Nations to a new understanding of the White House's foreign policy, diplomats at Turtle Bay are fudging their shorts (or tunics or whatever their cultural garb happens to be) right now.

And damn Voinovich for being such a turd. Frist and co. better keep him on a short leash and whatever perks that putz currently enjoys should be severely curtailed.
