Foulke Fucks the workers - quite legally of course.

On Friday September 17th I posted the news of a Bush appointment whilst discussing his fireside chat in front of the son et lumiere Jackson Square and cammo nets…

President Bush today, in a little noticed appointment, nominated Edwin G. Foulke, Jr. to be an Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health . Foulke's position as Chairman of the Greenville Country, South Carolina Republican Party was not mentioned in the President's press release, nor was the fact that Foulke was a Bush Pioneer which means that he pledged to gather $100,000 for the 2004 Bush campaign.) he believes in, “ limited government, lower taxes, a strong national defense and personal responsibility.”

How appropriate for a Bush Administration Assistant Secretary of Labor.
