Senate Blocks Bolton Again

Well the Dems have blocked him again. This is just getting old already. First the Dems block a bunch of judges and now the UN ambassador. Either get someone else up there that they can all agree on or take and up and down vote already. These guys need to get their work done. One thing interesting about this article is a new track taken by the AP:

The setback left Bush facing stark choices — most of which could leave him appearing weak at a time he is facing sagging poll numbers and fighting lame-duck status six months into his final term.

The sagging poll numbers are because of high oil prices and war weariness not looking weak on who he picked for an UN ambassador. And now they are calling him a lame duck with 3 and half years left on his term. I've heard some rumblings about this but I bet you will hear it more and more as we go along here. The only true lame-duck president is one that is still in office when a new guy gets elected.
