This is underhanded and an abuse of Executive authority — sadly this behavior has become the hallmark of this administration.
No wonder Senator Dodd is outraged. The president formally withdraws Fox's nomination to be ambassador to Belgium - and then names him in a recess appointment? Yikes. I'd really hate to be one of the next Bush nominees to come up for confirmation before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Democrats there are going to be seriously pissed off.
