Or at least, that's what the headline SHOULD have been. What I'm referring to here is Arturo Valenzuela's confirmation to be US State Department's Assistant Secretary of State of Western Hemisphere Affairs. Frankly, this whole charade led by South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint brings to mind an old standby joke on Capitol Hill:
"If the opposite of pro is con, what's the opposite of progress? Congress!"
EFE picks up the story here, with Steve Clemons of the Washington Note adding his two cents here.
