I read it so you don't have to! Some tidbits from the "Blog of the Year" on the Bolton confirmation (taken from different posts):
"One more thought: there are, admittedly, differences between the House and the Senate. Nevertheless, watching this apparent train wreck really makes me appreciate Tom DeLay. There is a reason why political parties, and their adherents, value party discipline. Let's hope that what is happening to Bolton doesn't happen to DeLay."

"My instinct is to say that Bolton's nomination is finished. But that might not be right. I had the same reaction when the slanders mounted against Thomas. But someone on the Foreign Relations Committee needs to get tough with the Democrats and their "witnesses." Whether that will happen remains to be seen."
"In its editorial on "The Bolton mugging," the Wall Street Journal cuts through much of the smoke that shrouds what has happened. The discordant Melody who was the last card played by the Democrats -- a leading figure in Mothers Against Bush, the woman who failed to come forward with her story in 2001 when Bolton was appointed to his current position she was "raising her children" -- makes only a token appearance in the Journal editorial.
The transparent phoniness of Melody Townsel's last-minute smear follows the Democrats' evergreen Anita Hill playbook to a "T." How transparent is Melody Townsel's phoniness? As transparent as George Voinovich's 'conscience.'"
No evidence provided at all regarding this 'phoniness.' Perhaps they're still checking Townsel's spelling.
