Thinking about what to expect from tomorrow's Bolton hearing...
According to news reports, Lincoln Chafee plans to vote for Bolton. So if none of the committee republicans plans to vote no (and Voinovich seems to be the only one in doubt at this point), I'm wondering what will transpire during tomorrow's 5 hour hearing.
Please feel free to disagree, but it seems to me that the dems have very little to lose here by just unleashing in a public forum all the dirt they've so far uncovered (and it appears to be considerable, despite Condi's stonewalling) on not just Bolton, but his ties to Cheney as well as the Grand PNAC Plan for World Domination.
What they stand to gain:
1. At least we'd get a good public airing of this garbage.
2. If there's enough there, it may give Hagel and/or Chafee cover to stand up and say, "I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you," and vote against him.
Should be fireworks. I'm looking forward to seeing Kerry and Boxer, in particular, in action.
