… I’m not disappointed with them. The woman has been vetted. Repeatedly. I run a conservative blog. I can’t stand her. I disagree with her. I openly mock her for any number of reasons, but let’s just face the facts for a moment. She’s wrong. If she’s an evil, underhanded, corrupt official (and she’s not – let’s just be clear) and no evidence has come to light after being married to the governor of Arkansas, then the President of the United States, and then as a Senator, and then as a Presidential candidate, then the chances of it coming to light in a week of chit chat on capital hill are nill.

Her husband’s recent disclosure of his fund raising accounts will not change that. Nothing new has happened since August. She’s been in the spotlight for years. We know her. We know everything we care to about her.

These proceedings are a formality. Stop freaking out. Seriously. If you want to freak out about the confirmation process, fine. Go investigate how Geithner intends to differ from Paulson in his response to the recession. Go investigate how Chu plans to juggle his pro-coal statements with his global warming statements. Go investigate how Panetta’s support for rendition is a “clean break” from the past (actually, don’t – just confirm him and move on.)

My point is that the hullabaloo over Clinton’s confirmation hearings is ridiculous. We all have more important things to focus on. Can we move on to them? The important things? Please?
