The Senate on Tuesday voted to confirm Penny Pritzker, a billionaire Chicago businesswoman and close ally of President Barack Obama, as commerce secretary. The Hyatt Hotels Corp. heiress won unanimous approval from the Senate Commerce Committee earlier this month after facing questions about use of offshore tax havens and opposition from a union critical of Hyatt's labor practices. Obama nominated the 54-year-old Pritzker in May for the post, saying she would focus on creating middle-class jobs and growing the U.S. economy. Pritzker's nomination drew 97 yes votes and one no vote, from Sen. Bernard Sanders, a Vermont independent.
And why not? She one of the club: subprime mortgages, labor antagonist. She's perfect for these people. Except, of course, Bernie who's the only one really on the people's side.
