In a curt letter to Rice, Sen. Joseph Biden (search), D-Del., reiterated his requests for State Department documents related to charges that Bolton tried to bend or ignore government intelligence findings that did not suit his hard-right ideology.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee (search) is scheduled to vote on Bolton's nomination on Thursday. Biden repeated a warning to Rice that Democrats could hold up the vote if they are not satisfied they have investigated Bolton fully.

Biden acknowledged that the State Department sent the GOP-led committee a large number of documents last week from Bolton's four-year tenure as the department's arms control chief. But the documents answered only requests from the committee's Republican chairman and ignored what Democrats wanted to see, Biden wrote.

"In particular, the unfulfilled portions of the request relate to the nominee's reported efforts, in speeches and testimony, to make statements that went far beyond what the intelligence would support," Biden wrote. "What I seek to determine is whether these documents demonstrate a pattern of conduct that calls into question the nominee's fitness to serve as U.S. Representative to the United Nations," he said.

Why do they continue to surprise me with their assholishness?
