FOX NEWS REPORTS PENDING SHOWDOWN BETWEEN WHITE HOUSE AND MARY FRANCES BERRY

Fox News | The Fox News All-Stars (Brit Hume and panel)

[Howlin]

Brit Hume reports that Mary Frances Berry, chairman of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, is refusing to acknowledge the Bush White House's latest appointment to the U.S. Civil Rights Commission.

Ms. Berry sent a letter to the White House Counsel, Al Gonzales, saying that if they do intend to send the nominee to the meeting tomorrow, they best send along the U.S. Marshalls to seat him, as she will not allow it.

Fox reports that the term of one of the Democrats has expired and President Bush is exercising his right to appoint a member of his choice. The Panel on Hume's show said that this has NEVER been done before; that when someone is appointed to fill a term that hasn't been expired, when the term expires, the person leaves the committe. They also report that the woman who is being removed from the commmittee plans to show up tomorrow with a civil rights attorney and claim that she should get a full six year term, not just complete somebody else's.

Ms. Berry contends that the person leaving the committee was appointed for six years, not just to fulfill the term of a member who either died or left the commission (I can't remember which!)

CAUTION: this is typed from memory. Nothing on the news site yet.

They both were major stockholders in the Charmin organization but they got wiped out when the market went south. And they didn't take it sitting down...

[Exigence]

Clinton was nortoriously slow in appointing people.

Not to mention that his early appointees were fraught with all kinds of missteps, like Lani Guinier.

[GOPcapitalist]

Don't forget Senators Mikulski and Boxer...though now that I think about it (ugh!) those two are more from the all around just plain butt ugly category. Boxer thinks she's a vulcan, and Mikulski...well...she's just a hideous beast.

[SpinyNorman]

She kinda redefines the term "dingleberry."

[SkyPilot]

Gee...what an impressive resume----------NOT!

She is at work on a biography of Barbara Stanwyck to be published by Simon and Schuster.

I can't wait for the biography on Lee Majors and Little Joe to come out next. Then there is always Lorn Greene...........................

[goodieD]

Time to show this wacked out witch who's in charge..and it ain't her!

[zook]

Here's a recent holiday photo of Ms. Berry.

[Howlin]

ROFLMAO!

[zeaal]

Is this a paid appointment? If so, what is the salary? Might it be more important to this woman to have a salary than it is to actually serve this great country? What is the salary if the position is paid?

[Howlin]

I'm sure it's paid; somewhere down the thread, somebody posted some stuff about the costs.

Believe me, this woman ONLY cares about her agenda.

[blackbart1]

Ok with me.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"But he will..."

Care to elucidate?

[dalebert]

I remember the racist report by Berry. I also remember it had nothing to do with the facts. The lady is nuts and needs a straight jacket.

[ninonitti]

She's more of a butch liberal, if you ask me. :-)

You mean she maybe a "Threefer" as opposed to a "Twofer"?

[Oschisms]

Mother of God, when did the Democrats' "big tent" policy begin to include embracing raving lunatics?

The Carter Administration.

[brat]

Gee, the Demorats sure don't like giving up power, do they! LOL

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Fact: Clinton's publisher is Knopf.

Fact: Victoria Wilson, Vice President and Associate Publisher, Alfred A. Knopf

Curiouser and curiouser.

[Henchman]

How many times does it take to convert you from calling them DemocRats? They are DegeneRats and you know it.

[Calvin Locke]

...that Reagan had trouble with her, tried to fire her...

I'm glad someone else remembers this incident. These appointments carry the clause "at the pleasure of the president". Reagan had every right to can her @ss or not, just because he could. She had no legal remedy. I think the whine of these liberal racists was "because that's *OUR* commission". That's how I remember the article.

I wish Reagan stood his ground on this idiot.

[expose]

i am going to watch this one
