''Bush Circumvents Senate to Install Bolton at UN''

Make no mistake. It was President Bush who has been holding up the vote on John Bolton by refusing Senate Democrats' request for more information about the nominee's record.

Now President Bush has decided to sidestep the approval process altogether -- rather than revealing Bolton's full record -- and install him with a recess appointment that will put Bolton at the United Nations until January of 2007.

We know John Bolton is unfit for the job, with a record of harassment and retribution in his tenure at the State Department. We know he lied to Congress on a questionnaire, saying he hadn't been questioned in any investigations in the last five years when in fact he's been questioned in the CIA leak scandal.

With a public record like that, we can only imagine what the White House is hiding by refusing to disclose his full record."-from the DNC.
