You'd think most opposition to Hillary Clinton being Secretary of State would be from the left (following her support of the Iraq War). But in the upside-down world of the Senate, her only opponents are from the right.
The only senators who voted to reject Clinton are...Jim DeMint and David Vitter (2 of the most right-wing Republican senators).
Why? Apparently they're still upset that Mad Dog Bush lost in '92. In conservaland, almost everything since then seems to have been refracted through that single event. Never mind that the conservatives almost always had their way for years after that. Someone told them "no" once, and they haven't gotten over it yet.
Not exactly the behavior of winners, huh?
