That guy: Carl W. Ford Jr., assistant secretary for intelligence and research who testified yesterday in opposition to the Bolton nomination, opened his remarks by saying that he was a "Republican", "conservative to the core", "an admirer of Bush", and of Cheney.
It will be interesting to see how he will be portrayed by the right-wing crowd.
UPDATE: A quick look at the ususal suspects (Instapundit, Hugh Hewitt, Powerline) turns up
nothing about the hearing. No mention of Ford or Bolton.

One order of Politics of Personal Destruction, coming right up, courtesy of National Review Online:
Self-professed "loyal, conservative Republican to the core" Carl Ford has not always put his money where his mouth is. Over the past five years, Ford donated more than $3,000 to a number of prominent Democrats including John Kerry and Charles Rangel, according to OpenSecrets.org.
But Open Secrets tells us he gave $2000 to Bush and nothing to Kerry in '04.
