Scalp trading?
It looks like the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has delayed its vote on John Bolton indefinitely, casting the entire nomination in doubt in the process.
I'm wondering whether all this grand theater is really the most efficient way of doing things? Why not simply say "Look, we'll give you guys DeLay if you'll let us have Bolton." Too simple, I suppose. I guess that's why I'll never make it to chairman of the RNC.
