Bolton Out, Time for Cooperation
There is some very welcome news this morning: John Bolton, the recess-appointed UN Ambassador, has finally seen that confirmation was not in the cards and will resign. I repeat my call for the nomination of Jim Leach to act as America's ambassador at the United Nations; he is precisely the kind of diplomat we need representing us there at this time.
Charles at WeThePeople has more on the Bolton departure.
[Update: Hotline has Bush's full statement].
[Update: Drudge says George Mitchell is "said to be on the short-list" to replace Bolton. This seems unlikely, but would certainly be an interesting move and a 180-degree shift from the previous nominee.]

Jim Leach is both too competent and too diplomatic. He does not stand a chance.
Bush will likely nominate another right-wing nutjob to the post.
By the way, some nut at the NRO's The Corner is proposing Santorum as the next UN embassador...
It's going to be Zalmay Kalilizad. Bob Novak sez so.
