Snark Amendment: Chuck Hagel on the Hot Seat Vs. GOP Senators
From ThinkProgress
The Senate on Tuesday voted to confirm Chuck Hagel to become the next Secretary of Defense, just hours after the upper chamber of Congress broke the Republican-led filibuster of Hagel’s nomination.
The final vote was 58-41. Four Republicans joined the Democrats in voting for Hagel: Sens. Mike Johanns (NE), Thad Cochran (MS), Richard Shelby (AL), and in a surprise move, Rand Paul (KY), who voted against cloture earlier today. Eighteen Republicans supported the cloture motion to bring about the up-or-down vote this afternoon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Benghazi trio (troika? triumvirate?) — McCain, Graham and Ayotte — vote to allow Hagel's nomination to move forward.

So after all the money spent against nomination and after #FriendsOfHamas fiasco, #Hagel vote basically the same as #Ashcroft confirmation.

If you have to ask about the hot #FriendsofHamas after-party, you're clearly not invited. #hagel
