Or maybe the Boy Emperor just yanked on the leash round his neck:

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said Tuesday he would keep pressing for a vote on embattled U.N. nominee John Bolton's confirmation after President Bush insisted that throwing in the towel was not an option.

Hours earlier, Frist, R-Tenn., told reporters he would not schedule another vote on Bolton ''at this juncture,'' having lost two since May at the hands of Democratic critics. They are demanding more information from the Bush administration on Bolton's tenure as the State Department's arms control chief before allowing his nomination to advance to a final vote.

Chortle.

Nice to see a man who "knows his own heart," in the felicitous phrasing of David "I'm Writing as Bad as I Can" Brooks.

Yep, Frist is sure looking like Presidential timber, alright....
