Secretary of the Interior Ken SalazarHillary Clinton's confirmation for Secretary of State was to be included, but Sen. John Cronyn (Fascist-TX) objected to including her nomination, citing ethical questions surrounding donors to former President Bill Clinton’s charitable foundation, which has in the past accepted donations from foreign governments.

Secretary of Education Arne Duncan
Secretary of Energy Steven Chu
Never mind that the donor question was pretty much addressed during confirmation hearings last week, now that a Democrat is in the White House again, Cronyn and his Fascist-Republican pals apparently feel the need to fight the partisan wars of the 1990s. If there's a Clinton to kick around, they'll do it.
Pathetic.
Cronyn's objection simply moves Sen. Clinton's nomination to a roll call vote tomorrow, where she is expected to sail through without much a problem. This is just another example of the Republican Party wasting America's precious time with ridiculous partisan temper-tantrums. Keep it up guys, and 2010 will look an awful lot like 2006 and 2008.
