Swift Boat This, John Kerry
Apr 4th 2007RavenPolitics & Raven
I can’t wait to see Jean Francois Kerrie’s reaction to this:
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush named Republican fundraiser Sam Fox as U.S. ambassador to Belgium on Wednesday, using a maneuver that allowed him to bypass Congress where Democrats had derailed Fox’s nomination.
Democrats had denounced Fox for his 2004 donation to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. The group’s TV ads, which claimed that Sen. John Kerry exaggerated his military record in Vietnam, were viewed as a major factor in the Massachusetts Democrat’s losing the election.
Recognizing Fox did not have the votes to obtain Senate confirmation, Bush withdrew the nomination last month. On Wednesday, with Congress out of town for a spring break, the president used his power to make recess appointments to put Fox in the job without Senate confirmation.
This means Fox can remain ambassador until the end of the next session of Congress, effectively through the end of the Bush presidency.
LOL…John Kerry acted like a spoiled little shithead brat over this. Oh wait…he is a spoiled little shithead of a brat. Until he signs over ALL of Standard Form 180’s, Mr. Kerry will forever be considered an undeserving medal recipient for acts of heroism he did not participate in. I for one, do not believe Kerry earned any medals. The man chosen to be nominated for this post, Ambassador to Belgium, had little to do with Kerry’s problems with the Swift Boat Vets. Kerry brought this on himself.

This confrontation is probably the best demonstration why Bush is President and Kerry is just plain out-of-luck. Just when Kerry thought he’d stuffed the President, all of a sudden he’s flat on his back wondering if both his balls are still attached. Way to go GBW!
