    I tend to take the same view of it as Dan Drezner:

    My views on Bolton remain unchanged — from the Bush administration’s perspective, this is an unwanted man being sent to an unwanted institution. Given the administration’s attitude, it’s not clear to me whether anyone else would have been more effective.

    Condi Rice didn’t want him hanging around State. The U.N. job was open. In another administration that might be a powerhouse post, but in this one it ranks right above Deputy Ambassador to Paraguay.

    And that is sad indeed.
