RE: "Twelve Democrats and independent James Jeffords of Vermont voted against Rice."
Uh-huh. "Independant" James Jeffords. And Who exactly does he think he's fooling with that stuff? Jumpin' Jim was always a big government, socialistic Senator, even when he was masquerading around with a "R" in front of his name, and his alignment today with the kookiest of the kooks in the Democratic party isn't at all out of character for him.
But the cup is more than half full here: At least I can finally call Rice by her well-deserved new title, Madame Secretary. Try as the might, Mental Midgets like Jeffords, Kennedy, Bayh, Boxer, etc. just can't keep a good woman down.
Think again on Kennedy.
