Who killed Bolton? Not the Dems — the GOP, that’s who
By Byron York
The Hill
Well, they finally got him. John Bolton is out as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
National Review, The Wall Street Journal editorial page, and other conservative commentators have already listed some of the people who count this a victory: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong Il, Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.).
But they didn’t cause Bolton’s demise. No, this unhappy moment can be traced entirely to Republicans, who did not confirm Bolton when they had 55 votes in the Senate.
