How many ways can we say the Bolton nomination is dead? Apparently not enough. Despite Chafee's bold pronouncement of opposition to Bolton, the White House is continuing its "Mission: Impossible," calling senators on both sides of the aisle to get Bolton confirmed. But no one on either side has any appetite for it.

Steve Clemons caught Helene Cooper's excellent NYT piece on the Administration's options on Bolton straight off the Internet presses. His own sharp analysis is also worth a read.

Check back on Monday morning for a comprehensive legal analysis of the Administration's options. Hint: they don't have any.
