Bolton at State?

Newt Gingrich has indicated that, if elected president, he will appoint hawkish conservative John Bolton as Secretary of State. See an article from The Nation, recycled in Yahoo News, that looks upon this promise with the extreme distaste of an Obama supporter.

Gingrich understands the culture at State to be more than a little anti-American. He believes members of our diplomatic corps absorb their world views from the diplomats of other nations who would rather the U.S. did not act like what it is - the world's only superpower.
