More encouraging news on Bolton's nomination

last night, bush had this to say about the democrats...
"They stand for nothing except obstruction, and this is not leadership," Bush said. "It is the philosophy of the stop sign, the agenda of the road block, and the country and our children deserve better."

if he's going to continue making his "obstructionist" accusations, he'd better look in the mirror... and he'd also better start doing a vote count...
Senate GOP leaders, acknowledging no apparent progress on Bolton, said they will call for another vote to end debate in a renewed effort to portray Democrats as obstructionists, probably this week. But one of the three Democrats who sided with them on an unsuccessful "cloture" vote on May 26, Sen. Mark Pryor (Ark.), said he may abandon the Republicans, leaving them farther from their goal than they were three weeks ago.

If Democrats "continue being reasonable [in their requests] and the White House won't provide the information, I want to reserve the right to change my vote," Pryor told reporters.

[...]

The administration says senators have no need or right to review information regarding [Bolton's] role in shaping the 2003 congressional testimony on Syria or his efforts to learn the names of U.S. officials mentioned in conversations intercepted by the National Security Agency. The impasse has lasted two months.

no accountability... it's ALWAYS someone else's fault... NEVER admit ANYTHING no matter how much bald-faced LYING it takes to get around it...
