Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., says he'll vote against John Bolton, the president's embattled nominee to be United Nations ambassador. Thune does not discourage the notion that he's retaliating for a Pentagon decision to close a major Air Force base in his state. "I'm concerned about our diplomatic posture as a nation, and I'm concerned about our defensive posture," Thune says.
Hooray for you, Mr. Thune! A blessing to your petty and spiteful crusade. May it continue long!
[Update]: Dolphins protect their snouts with sponges.

Goddammit I hate Senate politics and our inability to close bases.
As wonderful as the combination of a dissenting Republican and a closing air force base sound, I bet we'll get neither. The admin will cut a deal, keeping a pork-o-rific airforce base, and getting Bolton through.
I bet that if John Thune were a dolphin, he'd never figure out how to use sponges.
