Bolton's qualified? Where's their principles?

Bolton article

It's simply amazing to me that people (Republicans) can go around saying that someone is smart and qualified so, in effect, no matter what else they do (bully, lie, exaggerate, intimidate, manipulate) they deserve a job, ANY job. In this case, the job involves DIPLOMACY of which Bolton has shown NONE. So in the end, I want someone to tell me how in the world, in fact, he is QUALIFIED for a DIPLOMATIC job?? Those that defend him are only left with "he's smart," which doesn't seem particularly apparent to me, but that's a judgement call...and really ironic considering that the right doesn't seem to actually value smarty pants (at universities and in science, for instance).

Peace.
