John Bolton's Demise - Another Great Election Result!

Along with all the other good results of Tuesday's election, we will now receive an unexpected benefit - John Bolton will be removed as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations!


Bolton, who was appointed U.N. Ambassador by President Bush in a controversial recess appointment, will have his term expire unless he is confirmed by Congress. And that's not likely to happen - today Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee, who was defeated in this week's election, said he would block Bolton's nomination.

"At this late stage in my term, I'm not going to endorse something the American people have spoke out against," said Chafee.

Scott's Spot wants to know why Chafee had to be defeated in his re-election bid before considering the will of the American people in his legislative activities. We're also hoping that ex-Senator Chafee will have time for some grammar lessons.
