The Senate's Vice for Rice

No surprise, Condy Rice was confirmed by the Senate this afternoon as Secretary of State, just as news arrived that 31 marines had died in a helicopter crash in Iraq. Yessirree folks, the USA is bringing freedom and liberty to the WORLD, one dead body at a time. A big "blog de la resistance" award to the thirteen senators who voted against the confirmation. I especially liked this quote: "We cannot get the truth from this administration. ... It's wrong, it's immoral, it's un-American, and it has to stop. It stops by not promoting top administration officials who engaged in the practice, who have been instrumental in deceiving Congress and the American people, and regrettably that includes Dr. Rice." — Sen. Mark Dayton D-Minn Unfortunately, our Wisconsin bench of "Team Senators" did not carry through on our Blue State values, voting to confirm the Rice nomination. Shame on you, Senators Kohl and Feingold. You'll be receiving "thinkBLUE" wristbands from me as a reminder of your missing spines.
