George Mitchell as Bolton Replacement?

Right-wing Hot Air has some commentary on Bolton’s resignation. Let’s see if we can identify the error in their reasoning.

Update: Drudge has a hot tip that George Mitchell is on the short list to replace Bolton. There’s nothing about it on the wires. First Rumsfeld is canned, then Mel “Amnesty” Martinez is nominated for RNC chair, and now allegedly he’s thinking of appointing a Democrat to the UN. He’s really embracing this bipartisan thing, huh?

Potential Machiavellian silver lining: maybe Bush has military plans for Iran and wants to trade on the international goodwill Mitchell earned from the Irish peace process when the attack eventually comes.

A virtual can of tuna fish for anyone that gets the right answer. If Chris shows up, there could be pandas.
