It's not looking good for John Bolton these days. It seems Old Yeller's stomped on one too many toes.
That cretin should be run out of politics altogether.
Two Detail Bolton's Efforts to Punish Dissent

A former senior Bush administration official told Senate staff members yesterday that John R. Bolton, the president's nominee for ambassador to
the United Nations, sought to punish two State Department officials for disagreeing with him on nonproliferation issues, congressional sources said.
And a former CIA chief, disputing Bolton, said the nominee had tried to fire a national intelligence officer who believed Bolton was exaggerating
evidence on Cuba, they said.
John S. Wolf, who served as assistant secretary of state for nonproliferation and as President Bush's senior envoy to the Middle East until last
year, and Alan Foley, who ran the CIA's weapons of mass destruction office, were two of six people who were interviewed by staff members on the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Bolton's nomination before the panel has been stalled by allegations that he bullied intelligence analysts, harassed colleagues and exaggerated
threats posed by Cuba, Syria, North Korea and Iran.

Bolton's Nomination Is Questioned by Another Powell Aide

Washington - A fourth senior member of Colin L. Powell's team at the State Department expressed strong reservations on Friday about the
nomination of John R. Bolton as ambassador to the United Nations.
The official, A. Elizabeth Jones, is a veteran diplomat who stepped down in February as assistant secretary of state for Europe and Eurasia. Among
those who have now voiced public concerns about Mr. Bolton, Ms. Jones joins Lawrence Wilkerson, Mr. Powell's chief of staff; Carl W. Ford, Jr., who
headed the department's intelligence bureau; and John R. Wolf, who was assistant secretary of state for nonproliferation. Associates of Mr. Powell
have said he has expressed concerns of his own in private conversations with at least two Republican senators.
"I don't know if he's incapable of negotiation, but he's unwilling," Ms. Jones said in an interview. She said she believed that "the
fundamental problem," if Mr. Bolton were to become United Nations ambassador, would be a reluctance on his part to make the kinds of minor, symbolic
concessions necessary to build consensus among other governments and maintain the American position.
