Uh oh, it looks like some of those folks all over America who helped John Thune defeat Tom Daschle may be writing him for a refund.

Michelle Malkin reports Senator John Thune, who defeated Tom Daschle in South Dakota in 2004, has flip-flopped on his support for John Bolton.

Thune on April 19th:

But I think, again, if you look at his record, he has been confirmed previously. And he is a guy who shakes things up. And I think the U.N. needs that.

Thune on May 26th:

Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., said Thursday that he would vote against the nomination of John Bolton to be ambassador to the United Nations, hinting his vote is a protest against the Pentagon's recommendation to close Ellsworth Air Force Base.

Now, a big part of a senator's job is to look out for and represent the interests of his home state. But a senator also has an obligation to the national interest. John Thune is not carrying out that obligation by playing petty games over unrelated issues. The Bolton nomination has nothing to do with the base closing recommendations.
