Bolton snuck in through the back door

W is sticking with Bolton by doing an end-around the Senate. This is the kind of thing that is going to get him an even worse reputation for flaunting the rules. It looks like he doesn't care what the Senate thinks. Also he didn't wait until the public views the Senate Democrats as blocking Bolton for partisan reasons. He had the opportunity to make the Dems looks like they are harming national security by standing in the way of UN reform. W simply needed to put in another guy that would be easier to push through the Senate. If the Dems blocked this guy then he can truely claim that their partisan blocking is hurting national security.
