What the hell is it about Bolton that Bush likes so much?

Probably due to ideology.  Bush thinks the UN needs urgent reform, so he's chosen someone who is willing to express himself without stumbling over all the diplomatic speak.

But I mean this is the best guy he could find for that? I don't think his record is that strong anyway.

Have you not read Bush's comments on the man?  Obviously Bush went out of way to get the guy he wanted, so obviously Bush believes they are both on the same page.

He can't find someone who is in line with his views that doesn't have such a big paper trail and congressional opposition to his appointment?  I have trouble believing this, and I think Bush is trying so hard to make sure Bolton gets in to spite Congress, and especially the congressional Republicans who oppose Bolton (I don't know any off hand but I'm sure they exist if there's such a big battle.)

Exactly. Tweed...we're actually agreeing...this is getting weird...
