The U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, before which John Kerry appeared as a war protester in 1971, and of which he most recently has served as Chairman, today confirmed him in a comity vote as U.S. Secretary of State.
The nomination will now go to the full Senate for another comity vote.

If you believe in diplomacy, then U.S. Secretary of State is a pretty influential role on the world stage. I hope our next
Secretary of State John Kerry, with whom I dined in style one evening, has as much success and influence as did Reagan Chief of Staff and G.H.W. Bush Secretary of State
James Baker, with whom I attended church services, in his day (1989-1992).
With a
reeeeeaaaal stretch, one could argue that
Katherine Harris has been the most influential SOS in recent history - as the
fifty State Secretaries of State each get to count the votes in their own state.
And after our history together, she's still my favorite among the three...

Re: Katherine Harris, I think you meant S.O.B. (not SOS)... just sayin'
