John Bolton appears to be leaving for the private sector now that my old boss, Bob Zoellick, will be nominated as Deputy Secretary of State.
(Yes, I worked a bit for Zoellick at CSIS. We didn’t really click, as you might imagine.)
Don’t get all excited, though.
Reuter’s reports that Space-based Bob Joseph is in line to replace Bolton. That’s not much improvement.
(BTW, the brilliant portrait of Bolton is by Seth Kushner.)
