Scott Paul: "It turns out John Bolton is not the first UN Ambassador nominee to consider a recess appointment: in 1999, President Clinton floated the idea of a recess appointment for Richard Holbrooke, one of his UN Ambassador nominees, but Holbrooke refused. No, Bolton has another place in the record books: he is the first nominee to actively campaign for a recess appointment."
Update: I credited the wrong author above. Now corrected (originally I credited Steven Clemons). Thanks to Stygius for pointing out my error.
Thanks to Stygius for the link.
The Moderate Voice: "President George Bush today bypassed the Senate and used a recess appointment to send embattled UN Ambassador nominee to the UN, raising the question: Has George Bush politically 'jumped the shark?'"
