Chased by a Madman in a Russian Hotel

In all the coverage of Pope Rrrraht-tZzzingAR (pronounced with comical German accent), you may have missed that Bolton, who Bush wants to help heal the rift between the US and the UN with his soothing touch, ran into some trouble.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee set no new date for a vote, but a delay of at least two weeks seems likely while the committee looks into new allegations, including those of a Dallas businesswoman who says irate Bolton chased through a hotel and threw things at her at an international conference a decade ago....

Biden read from what he said was a letter from a U.S. Agency for International Development worker in Kyrgyzstan who alleged Bolton harassed her not sexually while he was in private practice representing a company.

"She's prepared to provide an affidavit. The letter she sent in, and I'm going to just take a second here, it says, `When I was dispatching a letter to AID, my hell began. Mr. Bolton proceeded to chase me through the halls of a Russian hotel, throwing things at me, shoving threatening letters under my door, and genuinely behaving like a madman. I eventually retreated to my hotel room and stayed there. Mr. Bolton then routinely visited me to pound on the door and shout threats.'"
