Jeane Kirkpatrick - what did I just say the other day?

That John Bolton's "been the best since Jeane Kirkpatrick - and she was my role model in junior high school!" Well, news has come that Ambassador Kirkpatrick died in her sleep at home yesterday. The AP's obit (as I'd expect) is rather lame, though, so I'm sure better ones will be coming, especially at nationalreview.com and spectator.org. May she rest in peace. I feel particularly bereft: One of the great women of our times leaves us, just as we all have the Iraq Surrender Study Group report in our hands, fresh from the printers.
