Foreign Relations Committee votes 16-1 in favor of Clinton appointment
By SilentPatriot Thursday Jan 15, 2009 9:45am
In news that surprises exactly no one, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today voted nearly unanimously in favor of appointing Hillary Clinton to be the next Secretary of State. The only thing left is a full Senate vote, expected to take place shortly after President-elect Obama is sworn in next Tuesday. The lone holdout on the committee to vote against HRC? Diaper David Vitter of Louisiana.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted overwhelmingly on Thursday for Hillary Rodham Clinton to become the next secretary of State, endorsing President-elect Barack Obama's promise to take U.S. foreign policy in a new direction.
The 16-1 committee vote paves the way for a full Senate vote after Obama takes office on Jan. 20. Clinton is not expected to hit any major roadblocks, with Republicans and Democrats alike praising her acumen on the issues.
But concerns about her husband's charitable fundraising overseas remain. Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana, who was among several Republicans who raised the issue at her confirmation hearing earlier this week, cast the lone opposing vote.

... someone object, Vitter's not a bad pick.
everyone is ok that her husband and herself will continue to receive foreign donations and it's ok eh? yea, no conflict of interest there.
A very good article to read, even her own party sees the potential for conflict

Everything new is Clinton'd again!! Can't wait to hear her almost daily in the media. That beautiful songstress voice of hers, clawing down the chalkboard like an enraged cat. Oh boy. An intelligent Condi Rice, without the sexual favours!
I cant stand HRC, I supported Obama initially just because I was tired of clintons in the headlines. Wanted to put that crap to bed.
However It is possible that given a chance to make meaningful progress in the israeli/rest-of-the-middle-east problem could actually keep her busy and effective. That seems to me the kind of opportunity, since not being president, she could really truly sink her teeth into.
Remember I said 'maybe'. I'm willing to give her a chance at this. At least she technically has a boss.
a qualified talented person chosen as Secretary of State? I mean, Condi, Kissinger, Baker...ummm...I don't recall there ever being one. Anyone?
.
Didn't live up to his prior reputation.
Yep. No one.
The best team player in the world can't do much if he's on a crappy team.
Still Powell's rep was never what people thought it was. He tried to be a player and got seriously outplayed.
Oh, shit that's Palin's state! Just Jefferson.
...that included hooker lover Vitter's state! No one.
If hungry markets continue to go hungry?
Actually that was William Seward, a great-great-great-great grand-uncle of mine (Give or take a great.)
Seven generations of folly?
Only after the gold was gone.
Just that merely the opportunity to make an impact could make her get down to serious work.
When she was younger, pickles made an impact.
but lots of people have an impact when they arew younger.

Angela Lansbury was a hottie in her day. But that was in The Picture of Dorian Gray with Hurd Hatfield, and George Sanders (one of my favorites,) and The Court Jester with Danny Kaye.

George Sanders. Not even Meat Loaf and certainly not that said excuse of wasted comedic talent that became Don Knotts after he left Mayberry.
But that's going back a ways...
At least she is out of the way when we address healthcare. She's a big cheerleader for the HMO's. Not the person we need in the Senate when Healthcare gets addressed.
Yippee!! New

Howzaboot the sexual threat?
is now at yellow or high risk.
Big mistake ..
Vitter the hooker loving, ignorant Reslug.
or does she look like Shirley Jones from the Partridge Family in that pic? *shiver*
Look out world. A sexually disinterested Hillary is en route!
Perfect! Hillary Partridge
'I think I love you.....'
Veni, vidi, vitter. I came, I saw, I diapered.
he wouldn't have voted against her -- he would have ass-stained.
The fact that this soulless pervert could appear publicly at even a McDonald's says all that's needed about his integrity. Hillary should feel honored that this nasty freak voted against her confirmation.
There is a reason people like him wear diapers. Though he should acknowledge the problem and get Depends.
When it came time for unanimity, Vitter took a "powder" for a "change", as he "depends" on his own morality to guide him in his "business" as his constituents didn't "dump" him the last time he was in "caca". sorry
LOL.

Bad news for those with CDS but it takes a Clinton team to clean up after a bush.
if Diaper Davey insists on having his fat white arse baby-powdered before he gets his widdle diaper...
no I don't either...
Maybe if Hillary offered to paddle him.
Oops...
what the intertubes have done to solid print journalism.
I answered before you posted?

And the worst part is you can cut out Hillary's head, and put on Condi's and presto! Almost identical!
would think that was the worst part.
It's winter here. We don't see half nekid women folk when it's -35 Celsius.
some baby seals or whatever it takes to get those neat Greenpeace chicks up there to straighten you out.
They could straighten me out any time.
with Angela, Spy, The MILF Pom Pom Mom, and Hillary in Chains. Meat and Mrs. Loaf weren't enough? Damn you are incorrigible. Guess that's what it takes to escape Premature Plano Departure Syndrome.
that media image, they shoot seals, they don't club them. Either or, it's too damn cold to be out hunting anything.
I came across a TV special called "Seal on Ice" and it looked like they were clubbing to me.
Of course Seal was singing and not skating, but others were. I am wondering when Michael Bolton will get his own fat zamboni out to the rink and create a new generation of fans.

but after viewing that and hitting the back button, I was returned to your post with "flag as inappropriate" highlighted. Don't let Palin get a look at that or she will get the minister to take back the witchcraft protection prayers.
Does that mean you saw the clip?
Your offering of Mr. and Mrs. Loaf cured my bandwidth problem. I was even able to follow the dripping entrails and recognize Michelle Malkin's cousin as the back up mid wife.
I don't have the ability to play Youtube videos.
So I have to go by memory.
although not quite as impressive as would be Ray Charles as a twirler instead of piano player. So I guess you haven't seen the part where Michelle's cousin reaches under the bed to save the baby and pulls out a cheerleader costume a 147 pairs of shoes.
If you cannot play YouTube how come you picked up so quick on the tube socks over at the Helen Thomas thread. Which you are childishly trashing I might add with a churlish aside.
If the GOP wants Vitter as their "I hate Hillary the most" point man,
so be it. I'd love to see David "I go to prostitutes with diapers on me, but I'm still more moral that the rest of the country" Vitter defend his stupidity and propensity for bizarre sexual practices that makes Bill Clinton's trysts look wholesome.

I guess Hilary forgot to arrange a call girl for Vitter ...
"Now it says right here, in plain English, right here in front of me, that I cannot hire you for the purposes of diaper-based sexual activities. Give me one good reason, Senator Clinton, why I shouldn't be able to hire you, put on my big diaper, and get a spanking, when I want it? All thems other womens lets me do it!"
After Hillary got their vote, did they give her a 21 gun salute?
I'm sure they ducked and ran for cover and skipped the poetry on the tarmac.
Yeah I don't like poetry either
Unless it's Edgar Allen Poe.
needs to go back to La. and hide until the end of his term. The Republicans can't even stand him, and that's saying something.
That's because they think welfare is for "pampered bums" and ....
The obvious mental picture of Vitter - in committee - the only one wearing a diaper and the only one voting no - is kind-of funny.

Vitter was Rhode's scholar, seriously. He's not dumb. So, how does a guy who's presumably pretty bright end up being such a nitwit?
He's most definitely a pervert and hypocrite. Is it just self-loathing that drives people like this? I love perverts. Hell, I'm a pervert. But I don't feel bad or guilty about it. Is that the difference between someone like me and Vitter? Just being a happy perv?
It's genetic. I'm convinced that being right wing is just genetic. I used to blow them off as being stupid, but he's not stupid.
I've read that it's the brighter people who tend to go down different paths sexually; it seems to be part and parcel.
The least imaginative are more missionary style.
Maybe he wants Hillary to "pay to play" with him, to get his vote. He's usually the payer, so that would be a switch.
"Diaper Dave" Vitter was the only "nay" vote, huh?
What a joke!!!
Russ Feingold, who is usually quite principled, slobbered all over Hilldog's knob during the confirmation hearing.
If he had stuck to his principles he would have been calling her out for all the crap she spews about Iran, her vote for the Iraq war, and all the other past atrocities that Hilldog has helped to unleash.
Why Russ Why?
