The confirmation vote of Senator Chuck Hagel for Secretary Of Defense was held up today due to the inability of the senate to reach the 60 votes needed to end debate and move to the actual vote.
Delays were caused by several republican senators who had formerly stated they would not do such a thing, only to revert to obstructive measures at the last moment.
Senator John McCain (R-AZ), still holding a grudge by his defeat to become president, was one of those who had made specific statements that this would not happen, but in the light heartedness of the moment could not help but vote No to move this nomination to it’s eventual conclusion.
We’re very proud of you clowns up there, very, very proud!
