Just do it!

From a Washington Post report: The Senate on Monday refused for a second time to confirm John Bolton as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, prompting his supporters to urge President Bush to bypass Congress and give the controversial nominee a recess appointment, which would last 18 months.

I for one say, just do it. Enough is enough. The Senate Democrats have hemmed and hawed, whined and cried about this nomination for months. They've had hearings; they delayed committee votes twice and once the nomination got to the floor, they've defeated cloture twice.

Enough. When it isn't even about the nominee anymore, how long do you let this kind of behavior go on?

Democrats said the issue is no longer Mr. Bolton, but an institutional fight with the administration over access to names from foreign communications intercepts, which Democrats want to see to determine whether Mr. Bolton was trying to bully analysts. Democrats said that as long as the information and materials on a speech on Syria's weapons program are not provided, they will block Mr. Bolton.

At the risk of seeming an unconcerned hyper-partisan, I strongly urge the President to make the recess appointment. After urging the Senate to do it's job for months, he is entitled to exercise his executive prerogative. And who knows, maybe a thumb in the eye will bring the Dems back to their senses.

Actually, make that a finger. I think you know which one.
