Roadblock thrown in way of Clinton's confirmation

By JIM ABRAMS

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says Hillary Rodham Clinton will not be confirmed as secretary of state Tuesday because of a single senator's objection.

Reid spokesman Jim Manley said Republican John Cornyn of Texas has indicated he will block a move to confirm Clinton by an unanimous floor vote later in the day.

But Manley also said there would be a roll call vote Wednesday. And he predicted that "she will receive overwhelming bipartisan support" at that time.

The Senate does plan to confirm several of President-elect Barack Obama's Cabinet by unanimous vote later Tuesday.

Neither Cornyn nor his office was immediately available for comment.

1. I heard that earlier and have e-mailed that jackass. I want to tell him to

"get over it"! How embarrassing is this fellow Texans?

[hamsterjill]

8. Very, very embarrassing!

Believe me, I would LOVE to get rid of Cornyn.

This particular action by him merely shows he's a bad loser.

2. Fucking asshole.

3. That's okay. She will be remembered for what she does, not what one nasty asswipe

from Texas did.

7. You always have a way of

bringing me back to center. An eternity of gratitude.

4. Such a gratuitous and idiotic gesture

Cornyn is trying to get his fun because there will not be much fun for him in the foreseeable future.

9. Putting party over country yet again...

You have my profound sympathy for having to deal with THAT FUCKWAD Cornyn as your senator.:hug:

[babylonsister]

16. He's appalling, isn't he. He's dumber than dirt, too. When

Vitter coaches him on ethics and he listens... :puke:

[Virginia Dare]

10. Wow what a gratuitous bitter and small-minded gesture..

will these people never get over hating the Clintons? Do they even remember why they hate?

[babylonsister]

12. Cornyn doesn't have the brain power. Someone told him to be

outraged, so he is. Vitter, I'm guessing, the arbiter of ethics. :eyes:

11. Cornyn, you repukes lost the 08 election. GET OVER IT!!

What a douchebag.

[lonestarnot]

14. Fuckwit!

What he likes negative attention?

15. Expect this behavior

throughout the early months of Obama's term. The fucking right-wing in this country will eventually get the message that they are more than unpopular, and all their (Club for Growth, US Chamber of Commerce, Federalist Society, WSJ editorials, all the Rush wannabe's, Big Oil, Insurance, Pharma, the "extraction industries" influence will keep being thrown at this meme until we overwhelm them with PEOPLE POWER. Boycotts, any actions that can weaken their grip, must be taken.
This is a GREAT DAY IN AMERICA! GOBAMA!!!
