Voinovich (heart) Bolton...
Last year, when John Bolton was nominated as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH) made a public display of his dislike for Bolton, making an impassioned and principled speech that caused Bolton's nomination to move to the full Senate without a favorable recommendation from the Foreign Relations Committee.
What a difference a year makes.
Instead of pushing Congress to find a suitable replacement for Bolton, Voinovich has done a complete 180-degree turn, now endorsing Bolton and recommending that he receive confirmation from Congress when applicable. Why? To quote: "For the betterment of our country we need to clarify our position regarding John Bolton so that the world knows we speak with one voice."
Can we not clarify our position by saying, "John Bolton is a chump, and we'll replace him posthaste"?
Voinovich. Flip. Flop. Flip. Flop.
Then again, Republicans are no strangers to flip-flopping...
-R.

Or it could be that Bolton's representation of U.S. interests in the U.N. has caused the Senator to change his mind.

What has Bolton done that is so good for U.S. interests? I haven't seen one single thing. All I see is Bolton doing exactly what most of the Bush cabal do: Speak out against everyone else's ideas because they have none of their own. Then, when they realize that they may not get their way, they act like it was their idea all along. See Bolton's ever-flipping position on international forces on the Israel-Lebanon border.
I'm sure Ohioans can thank Voinovich for his flippity-floppity-ness when the state's proportion of "pork" goes up, or some extra "Homeland Security money" is tossed their way to protect a few petting zoos and food festivals.
