Senators are shocked and concerned at gossip alledging UN Ambassador designate John Bolton may not be a fun boss (Never mind that this is a beam many of them might pull from their own eyes).

Management style apparently, suddenly outweighs foreign policy qualifications and work experience. Maintaining employee self-esteem is the important thing at the UN, sensitive Democrat legislators aver, and a couple of Republicans apparently agree.

So, they've reportedly turned to the ultimate good boss, Colin Powell. His advice has not been disclosed, though the Guardian claims to know, as usual, thanks to their reporter's incredible psychic powers.

That, or leaky Senate staffers who will say anything to Bork one of President Bush's nominees.
