It's all over but the screaming

So they have 58 votes for Gonzales. NYT tells us:

But by mid-afternoon Mr. Gonzales did have the support of at least three Democratic senators, Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut and Ken Salazar and Ben Nelson, both of Colorado.

Mr. Lieberman said he believed that a president should be able to pick his Cabinet team, barring compelling reasons to the contrary. The senator said he had met with the nominee and was satisfied that Mr. Gonzales's allegiance was "to the Constitution and the people of this country," not simply to President Bush.

Mr. Salazar introduced Mr. Gonzales to the Senate and later said he had been reassured by a letter from the nominee in which Mr. Gonzales unequivocally rejected torture.

And a spokesman for Mr. Nelson, David DiMartino, said today that Mr. Gonzales had had a private meeting with the senator and eliminated any reservations Mr. Nelson might have had.

Did they share a cigar? I'm wondering.

There is no opposition party. I love big brother. In fact, I fucking adore him. I want to bear big brother's children.
