(CNN) -- John Bolton, the former U.S. permanent representative to the United Nations, endorsed presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
Bolton made the endorsement Wednesday on Fox News Channel, where he is a paid contributor.
"I followed the ... William F. Buckley Jr. test: find the most conservative candidate capable of getting elected, and there are obviously two variables there," Bolton said on Fox News' "On the Record w/ Greta Van Susteren."
"In the words of the old song 'Give Me That Old Time Religion,' Romney is conservative enough and I think that's critical."

This creep on the, er, far right?
A few links for those who don't remember:
http://rawstory.com/exclusives/byrne/larry_flynt_bolton_511.htm
Mr. Flynt has obtained information from numerous sources that Mr. Bolton participated in paid visits to Plato’s Retreat, the popular swingers club that operated in New York City in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
“The first Mrs. Bolton’s conduct raises the presumption that she fled out of fear for her safety or, at a minimum, it demonstrates that Mr. Bolton’s established inability to communicate or work respectfully with others extended to his intimate family relations,” said Mr. Flynt. “The court records alone provide sufficient basis for further investigation of nominee Bolton by the Senate.” These court records are enclosed here as an attachment. Mr. Flynt continued, “The U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations must be free of any potential source of disrepute or blackmail.”
Mr. Flynt has contacted the State Department asking that they confirm or deny the allegations of Mr. Bolton’s prior conduct concerning his wife and the alleged paid visits to Plato’s Retreat. He has also called upon the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to conduct an inquiry into the very serious evidence concerning his first wife’s fear of him.
