Time For Recess

UPDATE: A senior administration official has informed NBC News that Bush will install Mr. Bolton today.

Excellent perspective from Jeremy Dibbell regarding the possibility of a recess appointment by President Bush to install John Bolton as U.N. ambassador.

I'm not going to size up the many ramifications of a recess appointment yet... the deed is not done, and there will be ample time for discussion after the fact if and when the president takes that step. For now, we cannot let up: we must make perfectly clear that no member of the Senate, Republican or Democrat, Bolton proponent or opponent, should sit quietly by and let a presidential nominee get away with submitting an untruthful disclosure form to the Senate. "I forgot" is hardly an adequate defense for such a serious omission, and no senator, no American, should be satisfied with it.

Still, we are talking about the arrogant Contemptous George here. He does't give a shit what the Senate or the American public say.
