He should have challenged Kerry. He had nothing to lose, this A-hole was voting against him the whole time.
I'll bring the Lager.
The utterly worthless Senator, living off Republican money, via his trashy wife, THeinzKerry, is disgusting. He is not a hero, he's a fraud with the name traitor more applicable than any other. My memory is quite clear picturing the gawky Senator running down the Senate steps right after the plane hit the Pentagon, he was alone and the first one out the door, cowardly, self-serving and helping no one but his boney butt to, what he assumed at the time, an attack on the Nation's capital. I will never forget that scene although I never saw it run again on the cables or networks. Hero? Give me a break, he's a coward.
This guy is a republican donor and appointed to be ambassador to belgium.
This is done all the time and most of the republicans will be replaced by the next president.
It is sort of like an honorary degree for the big wigs.
We do this only for a few nice countries like switzerland, belgium, norway, etc.
Payback is a m*th*rf*ck*r as we used to say in 'Nam. No one -- no one -- is lower than Kerry.
Wouldn't you think that the ambassadorship to Belgium is largely ceremonial?
To hell with Sam Fox....calling Kerry a " hero', proves he's not right for the position of AMB. !What a weasel.
Sshh. It's our guy doing the appointing. /sarc
Here's the proper response:
Mr. Fox: "Well, Mr. Senator, if it does matter to you, then I see you have three choices. You can vote to confirm me, you can recuse yourself, or you can abuse the power of your office to commit an act of personal revenge. It is simply beyond your ability to separate your legitimate reservations, whatever they may be, from your personal grievances. You cannot cast an impartial vote against me."
But no, the man he dropped 50 large to discredit is a "hero".
