The Case of UN Ambassador John Bolton

It should be noted that our ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, was never confirmed by the US Senate and received his job by way of a recess appointment by Bush (ignoring Congress is one of Bush's strange ideas about democracy). Here's an article from Counterpunch by Michael Carmichael (hat tip to Cafe Politico); I haven't seen any other news account of the event and the article is perhaps a little over the top but it does seems to accurately capture something of the incompetence and arrogance of the Bush Administration.
