The Real Newt, Part III

Gingrich's just-announced pick to be secretary of State, John Bolton, is often misidentified as a neocon when he is really a radical libertarian who renounces international law and was so far right in refusing to work with the U.N. (though he was named ambassador to it, in fox-guarding-the-henhouse-fashion) that even his colleagues in the Bush administration couldn't wait for him to leave.  Even the British, our closest allies, couldn't take him, per this 2005 piece: "Bolton's British Problem."
