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.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
