Bush ignores Senate on ambassador, as well as attorneys

The Smirkster named Sam Fox, a leading contributor to Swift Boaters for Lying, the group that lied about John Kerry’s Vietnam service in the 2004 presidential election, to be ambassador to Belgium, using a recess appointment to avoid the Senate.

Such appointments are usually only used during longer Congressional recesses, not a four-day weekend. Sen. Chris Dodd intends to see if the action is even legal.

Just look at the smirk on the Smirkster’s face in the linked story. Like the 8-year-old thinking he’s getting away with something.
