(2005-05-26) -- Senator John McCain, M-AZ, today announced an 11th hour compromise which could lead to a vote approving John Bolton as United Nations Ambassador, but rejecting his prodigious mustache.
The Arizona maverick, a 2008 presidential hopeful, said the compromise should make Mr. Bolton less intimidating and therefore more palatable to his Democrat colleagues.
"Our bipartisan progressive coalition met in my office for hours, consulting with people from Gillette, trying to work out the details," said Mr. McCain. "The Republicans won a lot of concessions, but we needed to give the Democrats something they could take back to their supporters."
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV, said the Bolton mustache will go on display at DNC headquarters "as a symbol of the power of the minority and a tribute to our effectiveness at stopping the agenda of George W. Bush."
