Boltin' Voinovich?

John Bolton, Mr. Bush's oxymoronic nominee to the UN, has run into a bit of difficulty getting out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, as has been all over the news this week. This week Sen. George V. Voinovich (R-Ohio) caught everyone by surprise when he voted with the Democrats for further hearings, which effectively forestalled any vote for 3 or 4 weeks.

Today an article by Brian Knowlton, writing for the International Herald Tribune, appeared in the New York Times to give us the lowdown. My favorite paragraph:

Mr. McClellan said Wednesday that the White House was "in touch" with Mr. Voinovich to help him resolve any doubts.
