Blend-o-licious endorsements...

The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend:
"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."

He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior." (CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)

Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego).
"Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008

Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:
A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."
(Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)

"A nutty lesbian blogger."
(MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)

Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

When does she resign her Senate seat?

(i.e. when does Paterson appoint a replacement)

If she's sworn in

her seat is now vacant. It is against the constitution to be a senator and in the executive branch simultaneously.

I understand Vitter's vote

It makes perfect sense...as a champion of women's rights, Secretary Clinton is opposed to prostitution...further, prostitution is in the Bible...

Clinton fails to get every vote

Is that what has upset people? How hideous and cowardly and partisan to take that away from Mrs Clinton. That Vitter and Demint should dare to express dissenting views...

Or is it the President this is an offense to? When Obama picks his cabinet, forget procedure, just wave them all in.

wow, negative

I think the reason for this article was not about people not doing what Obama wants.

Its just commenting on the how funny it is to see who exactly voted against her. (i.e. if the story had been "12 senators voted against Clinton's nomination" the story would not be posted. Or the focus would have been on why people voted against her.)

It was a story more about the two senators, than about Hillary. But judging from your tone maybe you don't care either way.

P.S. I am not an Obama zombie, like far too many people are. I have high hopes for him and hope that he does a good job. But if he does something wrong I will work to fight it, not just say, "oh, I didn't like what he just did, but Obama knows best."

I think it's still about Hillary

The news is that two senators voted against her confirmation, and that those two are already effectively discredited for being nominally on the right of the senate. Or specifically, because one opposes same-sex marriage and the other opposes abortion. So I think it's about Hillary, it's presented as evidence of her 'awesomeness'.

My point (which, from what you said, might have been concealed by my tone) was that there is a process for cabinet members being confirmed, and that should be followed in every case. Any member of the senate who doesn't believe the appointee is right for the position can and should cast their vote against. For someone who believes in liberty, it's even more important to vote no when everyone else is voting yes.
