The U.S. Senate voted 85-13 to confirm Condoleezza Rice as U.S. Secretary of State. This is still breaking news, so I don't have a link for you yet. It's looking more and more grim. I am proud to report, however, that my home-state senators (Kennedy and Kerry) were two of the thirteen who voted nay. I feel like bringing back 1973's anti-Nixon bumper sticker, "Don't Blame Me: I'm From Massachusetts."
UPDATE
Here are the details.
During Rice’s nomination debate Tuesday, one of the most outspoken Democrats was Mark Dayton, D-Minn., who described her as a liar and an apologist for Bush administration failures in Iraq.
“I don’t like impugning anyone’s integrity, but I really don’t like being lied to,” he said. “Repeatedly, flagrantly, intentionally.”
