Voinovich Gets Teary-eyed Over Bolton

Get out your box of Kleenex, folks. After listening to Sen. Voinovich's plea not to confirm John Boltion, you will mimic the Senator and have a good cry.

Sen. George Voinovich (R-Ohio) choked up on the Senate floor, as he urged his colleagues to vote against Bolton's nomination on Thursday:

''I'm afraid that when we go to the [Senate] well, that too many of my colleagues -- (voice breaking) -- that too many of my colleagues are not going to understand that this appointment is very, very important to our country," Voinovich said.

If Senator Voinovich were really that concerned with the nomination, rather than looking like a jackass after voicing his opinion against Bolton, he would have bothered to show up for the committee hearings while they were questioning the man.
