Sam Fox, a businessman and big GOP donor, was made United States ambassador to Belgium today by Pres G. W. Bush, who used a recess appointment to circumvent Congress to secure Fox's position. His nomination had previously been withdrawn following Sen. John Kerry's objections to his contributions to Swift Boat Vets For Truth(iness).
