There is just one problem with the Mother Jones article, it is pure unadulterated bullshit.

When Bush used a recess appointment to make John Bolton our UN ambassador, he was not rejected by the Senate nor had he been rejected, and the senate was actually recessed at the time (Blame Harry Reid). Bush did so because he knew that the democrats would not allow Bolton to be our ambassador and like all recess appointment the senate had the right to confirm or REMOVE Bolton once they were back in session.

What did they do?
