1. Anyone have an email address for Bolton's pages and interns? n/t

2. He would have to work for free. Will he?

3. I say let him.

First, Bolton can't get paid for it under current law.

Second, a double-recess-appointment simply reinforces to the whole world that Bolton can't succeed on his own merits.

And third, any recess appointment would last only until January 3, when the next Congress begins. Two whole months. Then, I expect, would come the inevitable third recess appointment.

4. Of course he does, because that nom is dead in the water, forever

And Bolton will go down in history as the first "rogue" US ambassador to the UN.

5. and when thedems are back in charge, they can REMOVE him

like an crone's unwanted chin-hair

6. I don't think he can do this.

A recess appt is only good until the end of a congressional term. Of course, if Bush is making up the rules as he goes along, who knows anymore!!

7. Back to back recess appointments is a flagrant abuse of power

I hope the UN chooses not to seat him.

Bush can appoint him to another position and them make him acting....

9. Just long enough to start that war with Iran. n/t
