Bolton Resigns -- A Grateful World Rejoices

Looks like Bolton's gone. No word on whether he wrapped his resignation around a rock and whipped it through the White House window in a fit of rage.

President Bush has accepted the resignation of United Nations Ambassador John Bolton when his recess appointment expires on January 6.

"White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said President Bush was 'surprised' when Bolton submitted his letter of resignation on Friday and that the president 'reluctantly accepted' it," reports CNN White House Correspondent Suzanne Malveaux.

"Despite the support of a strong bipartisan majority of senators, Ambassador Bolton's confirmation was blocked by a Democrat filibuster, and this is a clear example of the breakdown in the Senate confirmation process," Perino said.

In a statement released by the White Bush, President Bush said he was "deeply disappointed" that some Senators "chose to obstruct" Bolton's confirmation.

Yes, look at how the world now loves us, the middle east is a freakin' paradise, and the UN has been completely transformed. How disappointing it is to lose a rage-aholic as UN Ambassador.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass, John.
