Boltin' Bolton
I've noted before the curious similarities between Larry Summers and John Bolton: how they deal with subordinates, their attitudes towards the '60s.
Now the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
has moved Bolton's nomination to the Senate floor without a recommendation.
Which is not quite the same as saying that they lack confidence in Bolton...but it's pretty darn close.
Is the reaction to Summers, Bolton, et al, a sign that the time is past when the bullying leadership style can be effective in even a semi-transparent organization?
Another question: Even if Bolton passes the Senate, how effective can he be when he so clearly lacks the support of much of the government?
