President Barack Obama on Friday nominated Sen. John Kerry as his next secretary of state, elevating the longtime lawmaker and foreign policy expert to the top diplomatic job he had coveted. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/U...-12-21-10-38-02
The high honor of Kerry's new appointment is causing much joy among a great many veterans of the Vietnam War.

Scotty and Fauxahontas would be the ultimate Senate team to send to Washington, lol!
Have they put Scottie up against Ben Affleck yet? Just like they put Joe Kennedy III against Sean Bielat. We vote for the party face everytime up here.

Yeah. :(
My recollection is that the Massachusetts General Court changed the rules so that Mitt couldn't appoint a Republican in 2004. Then they changed the rules in 2009 after Teddy passed away.
It's hard to imagine them not changing the rules so that Patrick can appoint anyone he wants again.

So the point might be moot anyway.
They're so blatant about changing the rules to suit them. The "in your face" attitude makes me want to spit nails at how they get away with it.. I know we aren't suppposed to feel the way I do, but I've lost all hope for our country...
Though I think it will be a wasted effort as far as the nomination goes, I hope they do if for no other reason to honor the service of those whom this creep slandered.
I think he will be our next SoS. It's fitting. We deserve this, somehow.
Tell me. Do any of you read anything in the news out of the Obama Administration and say, "What the hell?" any more?
I stopped that after the first two years.
Absolutely nothing surprises me anymore. The man gets what he wants, when he wants it, how he wants it and we get screwed.
Orthodoxy SUCKS.
