Senate panel backs Clinton as secretary of state, 16-1 - Guess who
Edited on Thu Jan-15-09 01:27 PM by dancingAlone
the "1" was that voted against her?

David Vitter, of course. I can't believe he is even entitled to a vote. What a pig.


'The 16-1 approval by the committee paves the way for a full Senate vote after President-elect Barack Obama takes office on Jan. 20. Clinton is not expected to hit any major roadblocks, with Republicans and Democrats alike praising her acumen on the issues.

But concerns about her husband's charitable fundraising overseas remain. Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana, who was among several Republicans who raised the issue at her confirmation hearing earlier this week, cast the lone opposing vote.

In a statement, Vitter called former President Bill Clinton's foundation a "multimillion dollar minefield of conflicts of interest."'

3. If I had a wet diaper
I wouldn't be calling attention to myself. He's got a lot of nerve.

2. you'd think Vitter would have the sense not to attract attention to himself
but no, he has no shame.

Vitter the Shitter. I didn't make that up. That's what prostitutes on Canal Street called him. Those poor women (and men, if any were men).

4. I was posting at the same time,
your very thoughts. But I have never heard 'Vitter the Shitter'. Now I'm laughing so hard I'm about to pee MY pants.

Vitter the Shitter. :rofl:

5. I told my mom, the only thing I can think of when looking at David Vitter
is prostitutes and diapers. I just cannot believe he has the audacity to sit in power. Run around like he is something for children to aspire to. Diapers and prostitutes. What a joke.

8. I don't understand how
anyone can take him seriously. Why is it again that he has credibility?
