Tell me again, why did I vote for Voinovich?

John Bolton was nominated by the president to be U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. This is one of the positions requiring confirmation by the U.S. Senate. As with the hearings on Condaleeza Rice for Secretary of State and Alberto Gonzalez for Attorney General the process degenerated from reasonable debate of qualifications to sleaze and slander. On most of these hearings the Republicans allowed the Dems to make fools of themselves while attempting to tarnish the reputations of the nominees. Bolton's nomination has been placed on hold because Senator Voinovich is "concerned" about some of the silly allegations. What makes Voinovich's actions reprehensible is the fact that he didn't bother attending the hearings. Please feel free to call his office.
