John Bolton Steps Down

Sadly, a man who was never elected to begin with is leaving his post at the UN, reports The New York Times. President Bush had this to say:

"I am deeply disappointed that a handful of United States Senators prevented Ambassador Bolton from receiving the up or down vote he deserved in the Senate."

True, how dare the senators bypass the respected confirmation process and send him to the UN on a loophole in the law while the senate was on Recess, thereby not allowing his confirmation to be brought to vote. How dare they. Wait...

Out of respect of Mr. Bolton, I will say our collective fairwells:

Mr. Bolton, we hardly knew yee, nor did we confirm yee, nor do we care that you're gone. Unless, wait, are you related to Michael Bolton? You are? Okay then, get the hell out.
