113. McDumbfuck voted to confirm Brown?
Brown was elected via voice vote in the Senate, meaning that there was NO serious opposition to Brown's nomination. As we all know, before he was letting black people die, Brown was involved with the Horse racing and breeding circuit.. Oh, not to mention, JOE LIEBERMAN was (and is still) chairman of the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs (which does the preliminary hearings for presidential nominations) and gave Brown a rousing endorsement.
I quote:

Chairman Lieberman. I appreciate that, obviously, from the
point of view of Connecticut (talking about evacuation plans for a NY nuke power plant).
I am not asking for what your
response will be, but do you have any sense of how you will
handle this petition from New York about a review of the Indian
Point plant?

Mr. Brown. In all honesty, I do not. I just received it
yesterday----

Chairman Lieberman. You did?

Mr. Brown (continuing). When I got back into the States and
I just looked at it for the first time yesterday.

Chairman Lieberman. Understood. We will continue to want to
be in dialogue with you on this, as well, and I appreciate the
commitment that you made to be involved in ongoing review of
these plans because it is obviously critical.
--------------------------------------------

Let me get this straight, Brown does jack shit except cram at the very last minute (not unlike an irresponsible college student-- no offense fellow collegians) and Joe decides to bend over for Brown? You can mark this down as the moment of Lieberman's abandonment of democracy.

What can Brown do for you?
