Sen. Voinovich - The Latest Jellyfish

John Bolton's nomination to the UN was delayed today as Sen. Voinovich (R-OH) decided to cave to Democratic concerns over Bolton's behavior. Nevermind the crazy allegations, since when did Democrats become so concerned with the behavior of anyone?

Inexplicably, Voinovich offered the following for delaying the vote: "I don't feel comfortable voting today," adding that his concern is with "one's interpersonal skills and their relationship with their fellow man."

This is ludicrous. Betsy's Page points out that Chairman Lugar was completely blindsided by the man with no vertebrae:
These three weeks will be filled with drip by drip of any liberal-leaning person who ever worked in State or with Bolton somewhere to see if Bolton ever talked crosswise with them.
