Sen. George Allen and Sen Barbara Boxer from Hardball 5/12

You‘re making the case that if we don‘t move John Bolton forward, that any other Republican that George Bush might put up is a Caspar Milquetoast? That doesn‘t say much for your party.

Caspar Milquetoast. A cartoon character of H. T. Webster, Caspar Milquetoast was a caricature of the mild-mannered, overly proper ineffectual man thoroughly dominated by his wife, other men, and essentially everyone else.
