Kerrys Temper Tantrum Fails

What’s not surprising in this little tale is that Democrats, most notably John “F’ing” Kerry, are a bunch of whining crybabies. Kerry grilled Fox mercilessly in Senate confirmation hearings and generally made an ass out of himself trying to exact revenge for Fox’s having donated to Swift Boat Veterans For Truth.

Here in St. Louis Fox is known as a philanthropist and highly respected businessman. In Kerry’s twisted view of the world, Fox is the reason why he lost the 2004 election so he pushed to deny Fox the chance to serve as Ambassador to Belgium. How petty can you get?

Then Kerry and the Donks complain that Bush is “abusing the powers of the Presidency” by bypassing the Senate. Bull feathers! It’s not like the Donks themselves haven’t done the same thing when they had control of the White House.

I’m really getting sick and tired of the two-faced politics of Democrats nowadays. The whole whining crybaby act is starting to wear thin too. Throw in the recent partisan divisiveness and all you have is a political party comprised of hacks, lowlifes and hypocrites who are kept in office by moron voters and criminal supporters using shady underhanded voting scams.

Bush Bypasses Senate To Name Ambassador
WASHINGTON (YAHOO NEWS) - April 5, 2007

President Bush named Republican fundraiser Sam Fox as U.S. ambassador to Belgium on Wednesday, using a maneuver that allowed him to bypass Congress, where Democrats had derailed Fox’s nomination.

The appointment, made while lawmakers were out of town on spring break, prompted angry rebukes from Democrats, who said Bush’s action may even be illegal.

Democrats had denounced Fox for his donation to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth during the 2004 presidential campaign. The group’s TV ads, which claimed that Sen. John Kerry exaggerated his military record in Vietnam, were viewed as a major factor in the Massachusetts Democrat’s election loss.

Recognizing Fox did not have the votes to obtain Senate confirmation in the Foreign Relations Committee, Bush withdrew the nomination last week. On Wednesday, with the Senate on a one-week break, the president used his power to make recess appointments to put Fox in the job without Senate confirmation.

This means Fox can remain ambassador until the end of the next session of Congress, effectively through the end of the Bush presidency.

“It’s sad but not surprising that this White House would abuse the power of the presidency to reward a donor over the objections of the Senate,” Kerry said in a statement.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
