The case for giving John Bolton a recess appointment

The Washington Post cheerfully reports that acting U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Anne Peterson is winning high marks from the people who work for that organization. A former senior adviser to Kofi Annan is among the admirers. Peterson, a career diplomat, receives special praise for her “pragmatism.” A senior U.N. official states that “there are plenty of people who would like to see Bolton delayed indefinitely.” No doubt.
