I hadn't previously paid much attention to Senator Voinovich until his lachrimose performance on the Senate floor over John Bolton. Now I think that he's one of the most asinine members of the Senate (which is to say, he still has lots of competition among his colleagues). Apparently, some of his constituents in the Buckeye state think so too. Send him a hankie.

How come the good Senator only cried over Mr Bush's nomination of Mr Bolton.

I haven't seen him cry over Iran or Korea with nukes? Why hasn't he cried over folks coming home wounded or in rubber sacks from Iraq and Afganistan killed by insurgents? Why hasn't he cried over the Social Security mess?

Surely ANY of these things are more a direct and immediate threat to his children and grandchildren than Mr Boltons probably short stay at the U.N.

Unless the good Senator has some way of solving these problems and that will leave us with only the Bolton debacle at the U.N.

Personally I think it was acting and bad acting at that!
