You write: "He [Bloomberg] suggested it was unreasonable of the Senate not to let 'the executives in our government have the advisers that they need to do their job.' The Bush administration got pretty much all the advisers they desired for the first six years of Bush's reign. If the Democrats are putting their feet down it is in reaction to how thoroughly these advisers botched things. Take Katrina, Iraq, the budget, and human rights for starters. The only "insight" I see here into Bloomberg is that his judgment just might be as warped as the President's.

By the way, I found it interesting yesterday that you should state that New Yorkers over the last year increasingly came to like Bolton. I'm not quite sure what circles you travel in (though I have an idea), but in my circle (which is unquestionalble more of a majority circle than yours here) Bolton remains one of the most hated individuals in recent memory. Just because he is a pro-Israel zealot does not make him a good rep to the UN.

And also, on the stuff about the new Democratic senate denying Bolton, it was the old Republican Senate committee that was refusing to move Bolton's nomination along.
