Do Not Go Gentle

Senate Panel Approves Rice as Secretary of State

Well, a few Democrats aren't rolling over in the face of the new Republican steamroller. Rice was approved by the Foreign Relations Committee by a 16-2 vote, but at least Barbara Boxer and John Kerry refused to give her the nod.

If only Kerry had such a record of voting based on a clear set of beliefs before he ran for president, we might be in the midst of his Inaugural festivities, not this rent-a-minor-celebrity excuse for a corporate convention. Don King! Frasier Crane! 3 Doors Down! Kerry would have had Springsteen, R.E.M., Bob Dylan...heck, U2 would have probably come if invited. Such a fabulous waste of resources our campaign turned out to be...

Which is why, when the Democratic Party called last night begging for money, I said no.

And then yes. Just like John Kerry. They may lack backbone, but the Democrats are still the only game in town for anyone who doesn't hate gay people or believe in starting senseless wars. Dean for DNC Chair!
