Madam Secretary

By a vote of 94 to 2, Hillary Clinton was confirmed as President Obama's Secretary of State by her fellow senators late this afternoon. She is set to be sworn in between now and Friday.

The two Senators voting no? Republicans David Vitter, the hooker-loving fascist from Louisiana, and Jim DeMint of South Carolina.

Said DeMint:
We have to have a remnant of the Republican Party who are recognizable as freedom fighters. What I'm looking to do as a conservative leader in the Senate is to identify those Republicans, and even some Democrats, and put together a consensus of people who can help stop this slide toward socialism.
Because...you know...that argument went SO well for the Republicans last November.
