This person is totally untrustworthy.He’s the type who would steal from you while you went to the bathroom.What a total embarrassment to have him represent us as The President. He’s a sham and a disgrace.Truly one of the lowest points in American history!The worst part and even tragic part is how so many are too lazy or stupid,shallow,ignorant,backward,naive,narrow-minded,or just plain innocent and /or willing to be brain-washed with the political spin these gangsters are spewing!If ever 666 – Son of Satan was in the White House, this is it! And to think so many Christians fell for his rhetoric. But the Bible does say -”Even the very elite shall be fooled”. And they have. They elected a man who prefers WAR over Diplomacy.Would Christ be saying -KILL,KILL,KILL? I’m the big personality? The Decider? What a Megalomaniac! IMPEACH NOW,before it’s too late!

Have we all had enough of the f*@%#ed up hiring capabilities shown us thus far by BushCo?
I think we can all agree that Michael Brown was a disaster…and the people placed in Iraq (because they were “loyal Bushies”) have done such a bang-up job there–this only makes me wonder what there is in Belgium that needs this special/particular attention….

Placing volunteers in pay positions is against the law regardless of which party controls Congress. I have dealt with that question for more than 20 years looking for jobs that volunteers may do.

How pathetic. Liberals stand for nothing but hatred for President Bush and veterans.

I don’t get it.

“Federal Law” Prohibits recess appointment from being paid.

“Federal Law” Prohibits a recess appointment unless he’s paid.

Seems highly contradictory…or a tool for either side to complain in the present or future.

Government Accountability Office, an arm of the Democratic-controlled Congress…

Isn’t the GAO nonpartisan by design?

We should just write the Belgian government and politely ask them to send Fox back to DC. (Not that they aren’t already thinking about doing just that.) Are the Belgians allowed to reject an ambassador?

I guess Republicans just hate Viet Nam War veterans. Here’s a good debunking of the Swiftboat slanders against Kerry.

The Congress is our representation in the operation of the government, so when the president bypasses them, in reality he is bypassing us.

But, I would not expect the typical 30%’er Republican to even realize that Bush is insulting them and not the Democrats!

Bush insults Belgium, because he wants to appoint a stooge who will get paid under the table to be our US Ambassador. The claim that he will take the position for free is baloney.

Dang – I’ve been married so long I live vicariously through others.

This is my only vice so I’m not exactly living on the edge. Thanks for the Firefox info on the other thread.

Go ahead cause I think Zooey and Zep Tepi will be distracting any moderator for a while. They may be talking dirty but who can be sure.
