Nitpicking To Death

Unable to face the reality that John Bolton is the only logical candidate to force much-needed reform at the UN, the Left continues their efforts to nitpick the nomination. A raised voice here, a not being nice to an incompetent underling there, and now this (from AP):

John R. Bolton, the embattled nominee to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, regularly tried to set up meetings abroad with Russian, British and French officials without notifying the U.S. Embassy or the State Department, the outgoing head of the department's European bureau said Friday.

On each occasion, Bolton ultimately received permission before the meetings actually were conducted because department officials found out about his plans, A. Elizabeth Jones, assistant secretary of state for Europe and Eurasia, said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Let's see. He travelled to do his job. He received permission. Holy cow!
