President Bush appointed Sam Fox on Wednesday to the appointment of ambassador to Belgium. “A new ambassador? Who cares?” Well you should. He was originally denied the post in March because he lacked congressional support. This was in part because Fox personally contributed $50,000.00 to the Swift Boat campaign that made John Kerry look like an unpatriotic loser. This was despite no one waging a campaign called ‘Why Didn’t George W. Go To Nam’.
Bush just went ahead and waited until congress took a week off and made a ‘recess appointment’. This means he gave his buddy the job by circumventing the process that denied the appointment in the first place. I mean Fox will have to face a senate hearing but not until the new congress reconvenes in January of ’09. That’s some presidential nepotism right there. Good job G-Dub. Soldiers are dying, and we still have no idea why and you go ahead and take the time to get your buddy a job. Jackass.
Now that I’ve put that out there let’s see who that makes mad. No one because it appears the American people are complacent? Oh. Ok. Good.
RIGHT NOW
