John R. Bolton's nomination to be United Nations ambassador has been thrown into limbo amid a fresh set of allegations that include a charge that he chased a woman through a Moscow hotel a decade ago, behaving like a "madman."

Bolton was "genuinely behaving like a madman," Melody Townsel, a former U.S. Agency for International Development worker, wrote in a letter to the committee read aloud at Tuesday's hearing by Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del. There was independent corroboration of Townsel's account. The Bush administration is nevertheless standing by its troubled nominee. ---------------- This is so funny! yrs, andreas www.andreas.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
