The list of 21 Republicans who who objected to Holder’s Attorney General confirmation reads like a veritable Who’s Who of congressional dicks. I’m proposing that Coburn, Cornyn, McConnell, Thune, and the king of all dicks, Inhofe, be from this day forward referred to as the Gang of Dicks.

By a vote of 75-21, the U.S. Senate confirmed Eric Holder as first Black Attorney General in our country’s history.

The nays? All Republicans:

Barrasso (R-WY) – Brownback (R-KS) – Bunning (R-KY) – Burr (R-NC) – Coburn (R-OK) – Cochran (R-MS) – Cornyn (R-TX) – Crapo (R-ID) – DeMint (R-SC) – Ensign (R-NV) – Enzi (R-WY) – Hutchison (R-TX) – Inhofe (R-OK) – Johanns (R-NE) – McConnell (R-KY) – Risch (R-ID) – Roberts (R-KS) – Shelby (R-AL) – Thune (R-SD) – Vitter (R-LA) – Wicker (R-MS)

Their primary objection to Mr. Holder? He stated that waterboarding is torture, and illegal.
