President Bush is telling the Democrats that they've got all they need to confirm John Bolton, and they're not getting the unredacted versions of the emails they want.
Washington Times: Bush denies Democrats Bolton files
"They have what they need," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said. "The Democratic and Republican leaders of the Intelligence Committee have had access to this sensitive, highly classified information. The Democrats clamoring for it have already voted against the nomination. This is about partisan politics."...
This must be a principled fight, since I can't imagine the Democrats actually continue to believe that being the party that stands as champions of the UN is a winning national strategy. It's not. I suppose that's it, though, this is about appealing to their home constituencies right now. This fight is a winner for Republicans, and they should stick to it.
"Send us someone else," Mrs. Boxer said.
Which is funny, because that's just what the people in the rest of the country would like to say to the voters in California.
Was listening to John Loftus on Thursday or Friday night on the JOhn Batchelor show on WABC radio at night. Lofus is a Democrat, an Irish Dem at that, however, on foreign policy issues is certainly more hawkish at times. He is a former Justice Dept prosecutor.

He said the entire move by Biden and the Democrats is a complete washed out hoax. Biden is asking for documents that he knows the State Department couldn't release even if they wanted to. And because the Dems have tried to look under every rock they could and came up with NOTHING, they now are using this as a false premise just to delay his nomination.
