Hearty congratulations to White House “ethics czar” Norm Eisen, who today received a a recess appointment to be U.S. ambassador to the Czech Republic. His nomination had been the subject of a longstanding hold by Senator Grassley, and I recently speculated that a recess appointment could be in the works. This appointment will last only one year unless the Senate confirms him for the post.
I would write more, but I have a shaky Internet connection up in Mammoth right now. Way to go, Norm!
