Spending Political Capital on Liars and Torturers

Condoleezza Rice won confirmation as secretary of state Wednesday despite blistering criticism from Senate Democrats who accused her of making misleading statements and said she must share the blame for mistakes and war deaths in Iraq.
The tally, though one-sided at 85-13, was still the largest "no" vote against a secretary of state nominee since 1825.

White House counsel Alberto Gonzales won Senate committee approval Wednesday to be the next attorney general even though all of the panel's Democrats voted against him, complaining that he is too close to President Bush and has countenanced torture of prisoners in the war on terror.

It won't be four more years of the same. It's going to be four more years of HELL !
