Even Powell thinks John Bolton is a loser.
The President needs to puyll his head out of his ass (if that's possible) and reralize that his girlfrioend Bolton AIN'T getting confirmed.

Now even Colin Powell is telling GOP senators that Bolton is a loser dirtbag.

Bush, DeLay and Santorum can cry like little girls all they want, but the bottom line is Bolton has been getting his ass kicked for months now by Biden, Kerry and other Democrats...and that ass is going to get even more red next month when they kick it some more:)

GOP senators sought his views on U.N. nominee

Former secretary of state Colin L. Powell is emerging as a behind-the-scenes player in the battle over John R. Bolton's nomination as ambassador to the United Nations, privately telling at least two key Republican lawmaker that Bolton is a smart but very problematic government official, according to Republican sources.

Powell spoke in recent days with Sens. Lincoln D. Chafee (R.I.) and Chuck Hagel (Neb.), two of three GOP senators on the Foreign Relations Committee who have raised concerns about Bolton's confirmation, the sources said. Powell did not advise the senators to oppose Bolton, but offered a frank assessment of the nominee as a man who was challenging to work with on personnel and policy matters, according to two people familiar with the conversations.
