John Bolton's nomination as UN Ambassador seems to have hit another snag. Larry Flynt has obtained allegations from the divorce papers on his first wife that he frequented swinger clubs and forced his first wife into group sex.
"Corroborated allegations that Mr. Bolton's first wife, Christina Bolton, was forced to engage in group sex have not been refuted by the State Department despite inquires posed by Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt concerning the allegations. Mr. Flynt has obtained information from numerous sources that Mr. Bolton participated in paid visits to Plato's Retreat, the popular swingers club that operated in New York City in the late 1970s and early 1980s."
Steve Clemons doesn't want to see him defeated for the Ambassadorship on such tawdry grounds. He wants him defeated because he is incompetent for the job. I agree that Bolton is incompetent for the proposed job, but I think the Republican Senators will in the end give it to him anyway. This is part of the Dick Cheney "Win at any cost. Never back down." set of power plays.
So if Bolton is going to the UN anyway, it will be nice to have a lot of really salacious articles out there treating him like he was a Democrat and exposing every discredible thing he has ever done, including sexual. Then when the Democrats don't like another Bush nomination, all they have to do is say "This person is really bad, and the Bolton nomination shows that Bush has very poor judgment."
Besides, I don't like Bolton's reputation, his job as right-wing enforcer for Cheney and company, and I really don't like his mustache. He's due for some real payback.
