Here we go:
The Senate on Tuesday easily confirmed one of its own—Democrat John Kerry of Massachusetts—to be the next secretary of state, ending a largely noncontroversial process and kicking off what is expected to be a hotly contested special election for the seat Kerry has held since 1985.
Not that I doubt that President Obama has the authority to nominate someone as awful as Kerry. If the president wants flexibility, certainly he got Mister Flexibility, all right. Soon we'll be restoring our flexibility abroad!
Now the only question is where in the world will the flexibility hit the fan first?
