Steve Clemons on Bolton

steve clemons deserves a vacation just like everybody else but i sure am glad he's back in the saddle... the guest bloggers just didn't do it for me...

Perhaps John Bolton is modeling himself on Andrei Gromyko, the famous "Mr. Nyet" who said 'No' more often than anything else starting in 1946 when he went as the Soviet Ambassador to the U.N. followed by nearly three decades as the USSR's Foreign Minister.

Maybe Bolton's calculation is that if he follows the Gromyko model -- disagreeable temperament included -- he may continue to work his way up the political ladder.

Secretary Bolton? Good thing we have a democracy to stop him.

oh, steve... i'm not sure we have a democracy any more... in fact, i'm not sure we ever had one...
