John Bolton, Slightly Less Popular than Karl Rove?

Editor and Publisher provides a wrap-up of many strong editorials across the nation regarding Mr. Bush's sleazy interim appointment of John Bolton to the UN, such as:

San Francisco Chronicle: "On the long list of questionable appointments President Bush has made during his tenure, [Mr. Bolton] may be the worst of all."

San Jose Mercury-News: "Bush's choice of ambassador is one indicator of how much interest he has in working within international organizations. Not overly much, is the message. If Bolton must be the ambassador -- and Bush will have it no other way -- then the manner of his acquiring the job is fitting."

[and]

Centre Daily Times (State College, Pa.): “There's something sadly fitting about President Bush naming John Bolton as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations through a tactic known as a 'recess' appointment. Bolton, after all, is the diplomatic world's equivalent of a playground bully.”
