(2005-04-19) — Sen. Joseph Biden, D-DE, today asked the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to prevent President Bush’s nominee for U.N. Ambassador, John Bolton, from staring at him during confirmation hearings.
“Mr. Chairman, he’s looking at me again,” said Sen. Biden. “Make him stop looking at me.”
Indeed, a review of the video indicates that Mr. Bolton had directed a scowling gaze at several Senators during the hearings.
An aide to Sen. Biden said Mr. Bolton is trying to intimidate the Delaware Democrat into approving his nomination and has privately “threatened to have Biden unelected.”
“The Senator feels bullied,” said the unnamed aide. “Imagine how terrified Kofi Annan would be if we sent Bolton to the U.N.”
