I see that Clinton's nomination was approved 48-2. That's interesting.

48-2


I guess I'll never understand politics and politicians.

How is one who has demonstrated (and basically acknowledged) that they
make up stories and repeatedly lie to the media and voters, then, when
caught, arrogantly shrug it off, get appointed to important positions
like Secretary of State?

And to top it off, she's considered to be an outstanding, world class
leader by many.
No wonder this country is going down the tubes. Honesty and integrity
are no longer qualification requirements for much of anything.

Unreal.

And yet, she's respected by congress, and according to what I've read,
has a good relationship with the Pentagon, which could be a good thing
considering what we're involved with lately.

Says a lot about congress huh? Liars and cheats welcome.

1) They've been liars, cheats and idiots at least since Mark Twain's time,
when he said "Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of
Congress. But I repeat myself."

2) A fixed percentage of the voting population is comprised of people who
can't think and believe reading is a sign of demonic possession or elitism.
This will never change, so we will never have as many brilliant people in
congress as we'd like. Idiot voters find them threatening. We can hope for
more people like Daniel Patrick Moynihan, but it's unrealistic to whine when
we don't find them. Even Newt Gingrich, who's a hypocritical piece of ****,
is a pretty smart guy and has some good things to say about government.

3) Got three names you'd would've liked to see offered for Secretary of
State? How about the Defense Department, in case Gates doesn't stick around?
