Bolton...

as usual, steve clemons over at the washington note, is doing a superb job tracking the ongoing controversy over bush's nomination of john bolton to the post of u.s. ambassador the the u.n... bush ought to have withdrawn the nomination weeks ago but in the current megalomaniacal world of the bush/cheney/rove axis of evil, there's no room for backing away from ANYTHING, no matter how stupid or ill-advised... i won't be able to access c-span today and may even have trouble finding out how the vote turns out this evening but i sure do have my fingers crossed that this terrible nomination doesn't go forward...

at 6pm [edt] there will be a cloture vote. if there are 60 votes in favor of cloture, the senate will move without any further debate to an up or down vote on john bolton's confirmation. if there are not 60 votes in favor of cloture, the question of john bolton's confirmation will be carried over until after next week's recess.
