Thought Bolton was dead? Watch as Bush raises him from the grave...CNN is reporting a recess appointment is upcoming.
Which of these is the case:
There are some serious skeletons in the Robert's family closet that just came to the White House's attention.
Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald must have just found the holy grail.
The White House's bravado and "fuck you" attitude just went "nukular."
Officials: Bush may appoint Bolton next week
President may use recess appointment to get his man at U.N.
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush may use a recess appointment early next week to install John Bolton as ambassador to the United Nations, two senior administration officials told CNN Thursday.
The move would likely inflame some Democrats who have said Bolton doesn't have the temperament to hold the U.N. post.
The administration officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, refused to put an exact time frame on when the recess appointment might occur.
But they suggested the White House is planning to make the move as early as next week.
White House press secretary Scott McClellan hinted at the scenario Monday, saying it might be need for "people ... that have waited far too long to get about doing their business."
"If the Senate fails to act and move forward on those nominees," McClellan said, "then sometimes there comes a point where the president has needed to fill that in a timely manner by recessing those nominees."

Pretty bad timing considering Bolton just got busted lying to Congress about testifying in Treasongate.
