Voinovich Has No Heart

Senator Voinovich decided to "allow" the John Bolton nomination to go to a full Senate vote:

The pivotal vote came from Ohio Republican Sen. George Voinovich (news, bio, voting record), who said Bolton was a sometime bully whose short fuse would have gotten him fired in the private sector.

"This is not behavior that should be endorsed as the face of the United States to the world community at the United Nations," Voinovich said. "It is my opinion that John Bolton is the poster child of what someone in the diplomatic corps should not be."

In spite of that, the good Senator voted to send it on to a full vote by that august body. I personally think Bolton is a good man for the job. A strong presence is needed to get that collection of corrupt rapists and thieves in line.

That said, how can a Senator be quoted saying those words printed above and still vote for the guy? He should be voted out for being spineless. What a show-boating scumbag he is.
