It's a political appointment, yes, but it was done so under the radar to deliberately snub Congress.

I agree with Max. I hated the Bolton appointment (although I've soured on the UN, so maybe I was wrong), and I think this stinks. It's not that the President can't do it, but it just plays out like a bribe pay off and an fu to The Hill.

p.s.-- it clearly didn't just piss off John Kerry, but what bugs me is that Lieberman enabled this appointment, cuz Fox is a buddy.
