Swift Boat Funder Fox Quits Rather than Lose

[alcibiades_mystery]

Sam Fox, Swiftboat funder and extraordinarily bad liar, has withdrawn his nomination as ambassador to Belgium. He was likely to be defeated by the SFRC this afternoon, so the Bushies had him pull out rather than suffer an ignominious defeat on such a tame post.

Here's a lesson you should have learned earlier in life, Sam Fox: if you lie, you eventually have to pay the Piper. Just not in Belgium, asshole.

1. The fucking hubris of jr to even float the idea of putting a redneck

bastard like that in there at this late date. Bush is simply trying to fuck over the system now, spoil everything that he hasn't already spoiled before they kick his stupid ass out.

2. BOK, bok, bok, bok, bok, bok

:woohoo:

4. This is such a shame

The arrogant sack of shit would have been a perfect representative of the bush administration.

5. He must have realized that somewhere the underside of a rock was missing it's slug.

6. We can't forget about him after this.

As long as he is involved we need to keep tabs on him.

When he gets involved whether just financially or more directly we need to hit him hard.

7. FUCK YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:woohoo:

9. Despite what Bush says, science is correct - the Earth is round!!!

10. Yay for John Kerry!!!

and Senator Dodd for backing him up and torpedoing this scum bag!!!
And BOO on Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo., who said it was "disappointing that a capable and qualified candidate with bipartisan support has become a victim of a political vendetta."

FUCK YOU Kit, the victim of a "political vendetta" was Senator Kerry compliments of the Fox funded Swift LIARS!!

11. I can't believe he's going to...

CUT AND RUN!!!!

12. So, "Ranger" Fox outfoxed his own nomination. How Republicon-like!

13. Great news.

Payback-this time, it's for real.

14. Ya--- HOOOOOO !!!!1 n/t

15. One more Dem victory

I'm loving it.

16. The one thing I think is a shame

He'll probably not "learn" from this. Instead, like all sociopaths (and I'm increasingly convinced they ARE **all** sociopaths), he'll just blame others for his loss, and go on about his wicked ways. It's always someone else's fault. HE did nothing wrong. Mark my words.

17. And Lieberman was just gushing about this guy...

Aww shucks, I'm so disappointed...:sarcasm:

Lieberman told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in February, "Sam Fox represents what America is all about, and that's why he will be, when confirmed, an extraordinary ambassador."

19. Well, Fox and his wife gave Lieberman $11,000

and as far as Joe is concerned that IS "what America is all about"!

18. Quit rather than lose, a GOP tried and true method of success.

To bad their idiot leader won't follow their many, many examples of quiting.
