I took pieces of the article to leave tidbits of comments

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan pointedly noted that Bolton was one of many U.N. ambassadors. "I think it is all right for one ambassador to come and push,"
Translation: If you pony up more money we might listen

Annan said, "but an ambassador always has to remember that there are 190 others who will have to be convinced, or a vast majority of them, for action to take place."
Translation: Gosh if you can find a money pit like the oil for food thing our buddy Saddam was offering. Man you are in!!!!!

Bush's appointment was the climax to a high-stakes test of wills with Democrats. Republicans failed twice to break a Democratic-led filibuster against Bolton's confirmation.
Translation: The Republicans are a bunch of wimps who have yet to realize they are in the majority. They will get no more chances to say "If only we were in power then  we would................."

The shaggy-haired Bolton has been a sharp critic of the United Nations, a man who rarely muffled his voice for the sake of diplomatic niceties. His critics portrayed him as an uncompromising and hotheaded conservative who shut out or retaliated against any voices of caution or dissent. Bush said he was "the right man" to prod the U.N. to adopt difficult reforms.
Why Bush wasted any political capital on this guy is beyond me. It's obvious he will do the same thing on the Supreme Court Justice nomination of John Roberts. Is there any doubt? Well with the Repussygans there may be
