I just caught a few minutes of Hillary Clinton's Senate confirmation hearing, for Secretary of State, and I swear there was more sucking up going on than at a vacuum cleaner convention.
Chris Dodd (D-CT) and John Kerry (D-MA) were bad enough. But after seeing the way Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) spoke of and looked at Hillary, with unabashed praise and admiration, and the way she looked back and thanked him for his friendship and help, I felt like I was intruding on some private moment. Indeed, the first few minutes of the hearings were nothing short of a Democratic love fest (though there were plenty of Republicans -- okay, Richard Lugar -- singled out for praise, too).
Of course, in the time since I turned off the TV things could have changed in the Senate chamber, but I somehow doubt it.
Anyway, here's a link to an MSNBC article on the hearing, as well as a live feed:
I wonder if this will make those PUMA (for Party Unity My Ass) people, i.e., bitter Hillary supporters, happy.... Eh, probably not.

This is a slap in the face to Cabinet nominees everywhere.
Dave's right -- it's a slap in the face. The man gets to be president, and the woman only gets to be a lousy secretary, taking dictation, fetching coffee and stuff.
yeah, and she's not even hot. Why hire a secretary with cankles??!!
Hi,
I love your blog and I think you would appreciate my sense of humor. If I link to your blog on my blog is there any way you could return the favor? I think we could both get more exposure!

Although 'secretary' is a dated term, Administrative Assistant of State or Administrative Professional of State are just too wordy.
I wonder if they'll have the same sort of S&M "romance" that James Spader & Maggie Gyllenhall had in the movie Secretary? Eeeew, scary thought!!!!
LOL, EMM. : ) Btw and totally O/T, I have ALWAYS thought that the lovely Mrs. Dave S. looked like Maggie G. or vice versa. That's a compliment, Dave.
