Senator George Voinovich has come up with what he calls the kitchen test, which is just another way of saying that he thinks Bolton is too rude and unrefined to be the United States' Ambassador to the United Nations. Isn't that a silly measure? Bolton is extremely qualified, with decades of experience in the State Department, and a personal knowledge base that would blow away most college history professors, but because he allegedly yelled at a subordinate once, Voinovich thinks he's incapable of doing the job.
Find me an elected official who has not yelled at a subordinate at some point, and I will concede that Bolton should not be an Ambassador. Come on guys, we all know your real motive is to be anti-Bush. In the case of Voinovich, a RINO, it may be to play to his constituency, fearing that any support of Bush will lose him votes. Anyway, if you're going to go after Bush nominees just because, at least come up with a better excuse than "He yelled at someone and hurt their feelings."
