These are the statements both men made when asked about Bush's recess appointment of Bolton to the UN.
"At a time when we need to reassert our diplomatic power in the world, President Bush has decided to send a seriously flawed and weakened candidate to the United Nations. It's an unnecessary result, and the latest abuse of power by the Bush White House. ... Bolton arrives at the United Nations with a cloud hanging over his head." Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
"The abuse of power and the cloak of secrecy from the White House continues. ... It's a devious maneuver that evades the constitutional requirement of Senate consent and only further darkens the cloud over Mr. Bolton's credibility at the U.N." Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (news, bio, voting record), D-Mass.

The other Dems in the list parroted eachother nicely...but these two were certainly my favorites. You'd think some of the "finest minds" in the nation would be able to get together and work out some different talking points to avoid embarrassing overlaps like this...
