Bolton like Putin

Steve Clemons notes that Bush (hswib) has used his famous "eyes" test on Bolton.

"This is getting interesting. Didn't Bush also look into Putin's eyes and see a good man?

Bush's team is trying to make this about White House infallibility. It's sad that the White House can't step back and study the many reasons why there is so much national indigestion about the Bolton nomination.

As I said yesterday, three weeks more of investigation and analysis will be painful for the nomination of John Bolton -- and I'm sure that those concerned have every interest in making sure that the issues are clear."
