Bush nominates Swift Boat funder as ambassador.

Bush nominates Swift Boat funder as ambassador.»

President Bush has nominated Sam Fox, a major right-wing donor who gave $50,000 to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, to be ambassador to Belgium. Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) “grilled” Fox today during his confirmation hearing:

“Might I ask you what your opinion is with respect to the state of American politics as regards the politics of personal destruction?” Kerry asked near the end of Fox’s hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Fox, one of the nation’s most generous contributors to Republican candidates and causes, said he is concerned that politics “has become mean and destructive.”

Fox said he didn’t recall who asked him to give to Swift Boat Veterans and said both sides of the political debate contribute to groups known as 527s.

But Kerry said the incident raised questions about Fox’s fitness to serve as an ambassador. …

It is not clear whether Kerry’s concerns will pose an obstacle to Fox’s nomination.

    This must be what Bush was talking about when he said he wanted to put aside partisan politics.

    Fox being one of the biggest facilitators of the ugliness, can’t see the forest for the trees.

    Why does GWB hate Belgium?

    Why is it “not clear whether Kerry’s concerns will pose an obstacle to Fox’s nomination?” Why is ANY Democrat even thinking of letting this man be our ambassador?? Have the Democrats no guts at all? I am beginning to think the Democrats are in collusion with the Republicans, and we have only an illusion of democracy–after all, Democrats won’t even protect our young troops by pushing for adequate training and rest. Maybe Bush/Cheney, the Republicans, and the Democrats are all in bed together, and we’ll have endless wars and an endless loop of election cycles.

    Dear Sen.Kerry, you need to put a hold on this guy, not in the literal sence, the kind that make’s his nomination go away till 2009….Time to stop the madness and all that support it… Blessings

    No!

    What? They went nuts over a gay ambassador for a city state, whose only importance is a tourist destination? Talk about off ones rocker, I take back my previous statement, block him.

    And if he is blocked, I would like to see them try and label the dems as obstructionist. I might get a good chuckle out of it.

    And so I’ll ask you again, why did it take kerry 5 years to get his Honorable Discharge? And isn’t it strange that it only came after Carter granted amnesty to draft dodgers and those who received less than honorable discharges? Care to try and explain this? Calling me a liar doesn’t help your blind allegiance for this fraud!

    Kerry is not running for office Michael, if you want to argue over smear campaigns and the idiocy behind it might I suggest an AOL or MSN chat room?

    I can talk much about Bushes little homebound champagne Guard squadron, but why? Kerry nor Bush, who BTW went to the same madrassa (school) and who were both members of the same collegiate society is pointless and neither are running for President.

    Why did you hurl accusations without backing them up?
    Why are you convinced somone is telling the truth when they agree with your opinion, but not vis a vis? Why? I am not a liberal? Why do you think just because this website is progressive that it’s liberal? Why don’t they just call it liberal progress? What do you think a liberal is? A drug user like Rush? Poor? On Welfare? If the liberals are so poor howcome they are millionaire actors? Why do people like movies with liberals? Why does GOPr’s like 24 with that liberal actor? How do poor liberals on welfare afford huge media outlets? If the Brits are liberals, then isn’t Murdoch a liberal?

    It wore out, when he was use it as a s*xual aid on Vince P the other night.


  99. Crazy Eddie Says:

    I love when you talk to me like that! It reinforces everything Ann Coulter says about you liberals and that is you can’t carry on an intelligent discussion because you are just dumb children!
    Comment by michael

    That certainly explains alot about your opines here. You read plagiarism and accept it as wisdom. Anne Coulter is a pundit and will tell you what you think. Can you grasp the psychology of that?

    Deserter? Last time I checked they don’t issue Honorable Discharges to deserters. Maybe that explains why kerry didn’t get his until Carter’s amnesty program was implemented?


  101. ValiantVenusGrewFromUranus Says:

    We’re waiting michael for you to back up at least one of your ridiculous right wing nut statements!

    Come on michael, keep proving how lunatic you and your fringe chickenhawks are!!!

    Sorry michael, the challenge was issued yesterday:

    Ok, michael. The topic of today’s debate is “michael is a complete and utter moron.” Your task in this debate is to argue in favor of that position.

    You start.

    Comment by Crazy Eddie — February 27, 2007 @ 11:02 pm

    That old c*nt is still trying to grasp the meaning of the “?” on his keyboard, you want him to get psychology? That would be a ‘reach’ for that pond scum.


  104. michael Says:

    Time for din din! I’ll be back because the snow has caused our cable to go out. This should give most of you about a half hour to dust off your “Debating For Idiots” book?


  105. Crazy Eddie Says:

    Michael, I could write a book about what your opinions are and have you think that I am a great wise old owl because I have written everything that you ever thought was true.

    I can agree with your bias and sell you a load of crap and never look back. While you ‘debate’ about your bias complex legislation is slid right under your nose I am profitting off your hate.

    How do you like me now?

    Still can’t back up your claims? Figures Ann C*nter, dum b*tch.

    Papa Bush being in the CIA Core, had nothing to do with junior’s fake discharge? BAHAHAHA, yeah right. You’re the must gullible old c*nt on your block aren’t you?


  107. ValiantVenusGrewFromUranus Says:

    Asking michael to debate, is like asking Bush to speak ‘English’!!! Not gonna happen!

    Yeah, you aren’t dum, you’re r*t*rded!

    Is that where you learned to debate michael, from ‘Idiots’? Yes, we all know, st*pid c*nt, and she was called Ann!!!

    You people are a pathetic laughing stock to everyone but yourselves! BAHAHAHA, I laugh AT you, st*pid c*nt!

    Comment by michael

    Why you are trying to rehash old smear is beyond me.

    This guy Fox clearly has conflicts of interest. What kind of an Ambassador for America would such a guy make? An ambassador represents all of America, not just half of it. An ambassador should not be nationalist in his ways, but internationalist, something this man is clearly lacking.

    michael, I just threw your balls in my garbage disposal and flipped the switch.


  111. ValiantVenusGrewFromUranus Says:

    What michael, and his hordes of fellow fools don’t know, is that it takes two competent people to ‘debate’, otherwise it’s a ’speech’.

    You’re welcome michael for our ’speech’, because you aren’t smart enough to debate a kindergarten mind (Ann Coulter), let alone an adult. You people are sick, stupid fcuks, and if you think you’re anything but that you are lying to yourself as much as you lie hear - fcuker!!


  112. Mr. Evil Says:

    It’s simple. michael is as delusional as George Bush. If Ann (Pus Crack) Coulter said that it was ok for men to have sex with young boys michael would accept it immediately as absolute fact. Maybe michael wishes he was Mark Foley.


  113. ValiantVenusGrewFromUranus Says:

    michael, I just threw your balls in my garbage disposal and flipped the switch.
    Comment by Zooey — February 27, 2007 @ 11:10 pm

    You can’t disposal what michael never had. That’s why he cowered behind a desk, when ‘real men’ fought in Vietnam. Heck there were minions of women that were braver than that st*pid old c*nt, when women weren’t even supposed to be brave in the military!

    michael is why the word ‘pansy’ exists.


  114. ValiantVenusGrewFromUranus Says:

    Why you are trying to rehash old smear is beyond me.
    Comment by Crazy Eddie — February 27, 2007 @ 11:10 pm

    Because smears are all that michael and the swiftboaters have. Truth has a liberal bias, and they hate the truth and liberals equally!

    michael,
    Read my post in #36 and use the link provided therein. If you go there, you will find that he is both male and straight I try to be impartial and factual in each of my posts. Idi Amin would be a better ambasidor than this political hack.

    Comment by michael

    No, it’s all Anne Coulter has. Didn’t you read her book?


  120. Bluedog49 Says:

    A quick perusal of Michael’s comments and responses on any of the threads during the last couple of weeks tells me it is absurd and useless to engage him in any fashion whatsoever. This business of continuing the thoroughly discredited bullshit spewed forth by the Swiftboat liars for treason is simply the latest outrage. The a-hole isn’t here for an argument. He’s here to be annoying. I suggest that people just ignore him and he’ll crawl back into his dark little hole.


  121. ValiantVenusGrewFromUranus Says:

    How stupid is michael? Stupid enough to debunk himself!

    michael: Deserter? Last time I checked they don’t issue Honorable Discharges to deserters.

    Explain to us all why it took kerry over 5 years to get an Honorable Discharge when the rest of us got ours 1 year after our separation from inactive duty? Comment by michael — February 27, 2007 @ 10:25 pm

    So michael believes that Honorable discharges occur only to Republican deserters?

    What a st*pid old c*nt!


  122. WaltTheMan Says:

    #121 - Bluedog49,
    But michael is so vulnerable!

    He isn’t here for debate, he’s an attention starved old st*pid c*nt shut-in. That’s obvious.

    He won’t crawl back in his hole, the best we can hope is TP bans him because he’s not hear to debate, discuss or carry on a debate - and therefore in breach of the terms of use. He’s only here to p*ss on everyone’s cornflakes, because he’s a miserable old c*nt with no life. But it’s not likely they’ll ban him. They probably like having someone that stupid representing the GOPutzes.


  124. bye bye GOP Says:

    I agree with bluedog49. Why let michael hijack the entire thread with his moronic entries? He’s an ignorant human being with nothing to offer to the discussion. Ignore him and he’ll crawl back under his rock.


  125. WaltTheMan Says:

    My 123,
    Its like shooting a walrus in a barrel. You can’t miss!


  126. JPark Says:

    #126 Maybe we shouldn’t shoot him. He is an endangered species. The spotted waffling moron should be protected.

    Comment by bye bye GOP — February 27, 2007 @ 11:37 pm

    That’s a nice theory, but it’s not reality. That’s the theory Dems used for decades as the religious right rose to almost 1/3 of the population. Fanatics like michael don’t just crawl under a rock and stay, they come out to poison anyone they can bight.


  128. WaltTheMan Says:

    #127 - JPark,
    You may be right, neocons are an endangered species.


  129. WaltTheMan Says:

    My #129,
    Perhaps we should set aside a portion of the Alaskan National Wild Life Preserve as a habitat?


  130. Raymond Funamoto Says:

    Ah Yes, Bushland Uber Allies FAVOURITE ACT–TO REWARD POLITICAL ALLIES WITHOUT ANY THOUGHT ABOUT THEIR ABILITY OR CREDENTIALS, AS LONG AS THEY ARE FAITHFUL FOLLOWERS OF CHIMPya and his Nazi-Fascist Regime and ASS-KISSERS of CHIMPya and Torticola Cheney and Bushland Uber Allies!!!!! SICKENING, VILE and JUST ASKING TO BE PUNISHED BY DEATH BY RIGHTEOUS VENGEANCE!!!!!


  131. JPark Says:

    #130 Oh, no, Walt. I am thinking we should set aside a little spot in Compton for the spotted waffling moron. Maybe it wouldn’t be a “permanent” habitat for them but it would be a good show on Fox.


  132. WaltTheMan Says:

    #132 - JPark,
    Compton? To me that’s an encyclopedea.

  137. Jay Randal Says:

    I have been to Belgium, and I do not like the place, so let the Bush lover be ambassador to that stinky nation. Netherlands is nice country.


  138. Goebbels Says:

    First rate hires first rate. Second rate hires third rate. Bush is definitely not first rate, nor even second rate, which explains a lot about his appointees’ qualifications and performance and the mess the USA finds itself in.


  139. keith Says:

    From the day the Texas Air National guard began requiring a drug test as part of the flight physical—Bush never again took the flight physical. No take flight physical, no can fly. He never flew for years. His only obligation was flying—not showing up once to take advance of a free dental checkup. Many in his unit in Alabama said they were looking out for the wild Texan son of a congressman—but he never showed up !!!

    How many combat medals did Kerry win? Five? Kerry volunteered for the military and also volunteered for swiftboat combat duty when he could have stayed on the carrier away from combat. The ones actually on his swiftboat said everything Kerry said was true. So did Vietnamese villagers interviewed on 60 minutes. Some other swiftboaters lied—I guess they were mad because Kerry later spoke out against the war. I seen it happen many times.

    Bush should never have been in the champagne unit. His test score was lower than the 300 who were on the waiting list BEFORE him. I’ve seen his test score and it looks like it was altered to reach the minimum. You also don’t go straight to officer without ROTC which Bush never did.

    Bill Maher: George of the Bungle

    http://politicalhumor.about.com/ od/ bushvideos/ v/ maherbushbungle.htm

    Mocking President Bush for general ineptitude, comedian Bill Maher delivered a funny rant as part of his “New Rules” segment on HBO’s “Real Time With Bill Maher”:

    “Seriously, Mr. President, this job can’t be fun for you anymore. There’s no more money to spend; you used up all of that. You can’t start another war because you also used up the army. And now, darn the luck, the rest of your term has become the Bush family nightmare: helping poor people.”

    “New rule: American must recall the president. That’s what this country needs – a good old-fashioned, California-style recall election, complete with Gary Coleman, porno actresses, and action film stars. And just like Schwarzenegger’s predecessor here in California, George Bush is now so unpopular, he must now defend his job against…Russell Crowe, because at this point I want a leader who will throw a phone at somebody. In fact, let’s have only phone throwers. Naomi Campbell can be the vice president.

    “Now I kid, but seriously, Mr. President, this job can’t be fun for you anymore. There’s no more money to spend; you used up all of that. You can’t start another war because you also used up the army. And now, darn the luck, the rest of your term has become the Bush family nightmare: helping poor people. Yeah, listen to your mom, the cupboard’s bare, the credit card’s maxed out, and no one’s speaking to you. Mission accomplished.

    “Now it’s time to do what you’ve always done best: lose interest and walk away. Like you did with your military service. And the oil company. And the baseball team. It’s time to move on and try the next fantasy job. How about cowboy or spaceman? Now, I know what you’re saying, you’re saying that there are so many other things that you as president could involve yourself in. Please don’t. I know, there a lot left to do. There’s a war with Venezuela, and eliminating the sales tax of yachts, turning the space program over to the church and Social Security to Fannie Mae, giving embryos the vote.

    “But sir, none of that is going to happen now. Why? Because you govern like Billy Joel drives. You’ve performed so poor, I’m surprised you haven’t given yourself a medal. You’re a catastrophe that walks like a man. Herbert Hoover was a shitty president, but even he never conceded an entire metropolis to rising water and snakes. On your watch, we’ve lost almost all of our allies, the surplus, four airliners, two trade centers, a piece of the Pentagon, and the city of New Orleans. Maybe you’re just not lucky. I’m not saying you don’t love this country, I’m just wondering how much worse it could be if you were on the other side. So yes, God does speak to you, and what he’s saying is, ‘Take a hint.’”

  142. Arne Langsetmo Says:

    I dunno. I suspect thet Fox might be the perfect “ambassador” for the Dubya maladministration. I’m quite sure that he’ll carry across the maladministration’s blinkered and perverse views.

    Whether he’ll help the U.S. interests much is a different question….
