Actually, we knew ye all too well...
Bolton was the walking embodiment of the BushCo "If you ain't fur us, you're again us" foreign policy doctrine. He was fundamentally divisive, openly scornful of the very body he was supposed to be conducting relations with, and just a poor, poor representative of the American people on the world stage. He certainly didn't speak for me.
Ace: evidently that whole thread we had on Bolton a few weeks back didn't change your view any? Do you understand that it's not the man's tenacity or "strong opioins" that people object to, so much as what those opinions actually are? The analogy here is: if it's my WHOLE job to have a constructive, workable relationship with you, and I fundamentally believe you're incompetent and a jerk, and I'm both vocal about that and completely inflexible about that, I'm probably not as good a candidate for the job as somebody else might be.
