Seven uncontroversial nominees to Barack Obama's Cabinet were confirmed today. Hillary Clinton remains in the as-yet unconfirmed pile alongside Eric Holder and Timothy Geithner. That's because Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) put a hold on her based on concerns about the Clinton Foundation's foreign fundraising. Since Cornyn can't stop a roll call vote, however, it's unlikely that this will delay Hillary's confirmation by more than a day.

This is just a ploy to get some attention for Cornym, who is just foolish enough to think he can run for president and not be mocked off the stage.

Taking a break from American Renaissance, James?
