Now why doesn’t this surprise anyone???
Democrats opposed to President Bush’s nomination of Sam Fox as the new U.S. ambassador to Belgium posed a new challenge Thursday, charging that the fact Fox will serve without pay makes him a ‘volunteer,’ and that the government cannot accept his unpaid services.
Oh really?? What about John Bolton? He was an unpaid Ambassador to the UN for over 2 years and the Lemoncraps didn’t find this excuse back then. How come? Because Bolton wasn’t involved with the Swift Boat stuff…
Democrats are vehemently against the appointment and are investigating a new twist in the former Swiftboat Veterans for Truth contributor’s appointment.
It is possible Fox might now be, as a “volunteer”, in violation of another U.S. law, Democrats charge, in his new position as an ambassador.
In a letter sent today, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Democrats Chris Dodd, John Kerry and Bob Casey ask the General Accounting Office, the nonpartisan watchdog arm of Congress, to expedite an investigation into a conflict between competing U.S. codes that could, if resolved as Democrats hope, leave Fox without a job.
Lemoncraps are vehemently against anyone President Bush appoints for ANY JOB. Period. And John Kerry needs to be a MAN about this. GET OVER IT. He hangs on to grudges more than any man I have ever heard of. What a whinebag wussypuss.
In some instances, political appointees can serve without a salary if they agree in advance they have no future claim to one, but U.S. law also seems to say that those with salaries fixed in law (ambassadors have a fixed rate of pay set in the Foreign Service Act of 1980) cannot serve voluntarily, according to the Democrats’ analysis.
I think they’re analysis is OFF just a little. But watch. The word of the Lemons will become the law of the land…as always they twist it and turn it and knot it all up into something no one can make sense of. Sheesh.
And we pay these idiOts to do this.
