John Negroponte, confirmed as ambassador to Iraq.

No votes?
Tom Harkin of Iowa, Mark Dayton of Minnesota, and Richard Durbin of Illinois.

There are occasional votes, when the vote-tally is overwhelmingly lop-sided, when one is able to ascertain some wheat from the chattle. Representative Ron Paul deserves some kudos for voting “no” on every superfluous piece of legislation that doesn’t actually do anything (and kudos for many, many other votes, actually). Russ Feingold deserves kudos for being the lone Senator voting against the Patriot Act. And Harkin, Dayton, and Durbin deserve kudos for voting “no” to John Negroponte.
