The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted overwhelmingly in support of Hillary Rodham Clinton to become the next secretary of state. The 16-1 approval by the committee paves the way for smooth sailing through the full Senate, with a vote due sometime after President-elect Obama takes office.The lone vote against Clinton came from Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana, who has concerns over former President Bill Clinton's foundation that he termed a "multimillion dollar minefield of conflicts of interest."
"This could produce explosions at any minute, particularly concerning the Middle East where we least need them," Vitter said.I think a bigger concern is why someone who was engaged in illegal activity, that resulted in a woman's death, should still be sitting in the U.S. Senate.

For a minute there I thought you were referring to Joe Scarbarough, but then I rememebered he was no longer in office.
I thought of you when I heard about his vote.
What an idiot.
And I too had the Dean Wormer Joe Scarborough moment too.
Ack!
Really. Stay classy, Vitter. wow.
