Looks like the vote for Condi Rice was 85/13. Don't know who the 13 were, but she set a record.

Although Rice was assured of confirmation, she got the most "no" votes since World War II. Seven senators voted against Henry Kissinger and six each against Dean Acheson and Alexander Haig.

Hmm, I think this number may reflect a new level of evil

Good to see you not incarcerated tommyrot.

Thanks. I am still out roaming the streets (but not driving).

Re: Condi - Yet another example of an incompetent but loyal administration official being rewarded, while the competent ones who don't blidly parrot W's lines are attacked....

Jeez. Just one more, and she would've been twice as evil as Kissinger.

I think Kissinger out-evils all comers. Part of his evil mystique is that he could fool so many people into thinking he was "smart" rather than evil. I think people confused him with Zbigniew Bryzynski.

Whereas, anybody who watched Condi Rice testify before the 9/11 Commission can tell you she's an obvious, pathetic prevaricator. Anybody who brings up the frelling Lusitania to justify her own cluelessness needs to be whipped naked with lasagna noodles.

The fact that more people voted for her than against her will probably be interpreted by the Bush administration as a "mandate."

I wish one of the sites reporting would have an actual list of the thirteen. It's thirteen names, people!

I think Kennedy said he wouldn't vote for her. Or maybe it was what's-his-name - you know, the Democratic nominee for President....

eta: I bet Boxer didn't vote for her either....

If Barbara Boxer had voted for her the earth would have flown off its axis.

Jeffords, Kennedy, Kerry are mentioned in the AP story that's everywhere. Boxer is a pretty safe bet. Still looking for the rest.
