John Bolton Needs A Clue

Can someone please tell me why John Bolton is still showing up in the news as some kind of foreign policy expert? In a Forbes.com story (see story here) concerning the atrocities being committed in Myanmar, Bolton is again disparaging the ability of the UN to effect any positive outcome while blaming China for not doing enough to try and resolve the problem. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Congress hustle this political hack from his appointment as US ambassador to the UN (another of our esteemed president's enlightened appointments) like a schoolboy being pulled out of class by his ear after misbehaving? So why am I reading about this stooge complaining that China blocked Myanmar from even being considered as an addition to the Security Council's agenda? Is it any surprise that any proposals put forth by the man who said the UN only exists to serve the interests of the US would be rejected? Doesn't this guy have a family to go spend time with like all of the other Bush administration jetsam of late? Apparently he mistook the advice of watching for the door on his way out as some indication of continued relevance.
