Disgraceful

Lying character assassin Sam Fox ("Foxy" to Bush), gets a recess appointment as Ambassador to Belgium. Bush withdrew the nomination because it was clear it wouldn't be approved by the Senate. Instead he resorts to this sleight of hand.

Remember when Republicans bitched and bitched about the NEED for "up or down votes?"

Guess ruling by fiat is more Bush's style.

Don't be surprised if he tries to stay in office after his term expires in January, 2009.
