Republicans Gush Over Obama Education Secretary Nominee Arne Duncan

Arne Duncan's confirmation hearing to be the incoming Obama Administration's Education Secretary could have easily been confused for a lovefest. Or the peaceable kingdom with the lion laying down with the lamb.

Anyone accustomed to the acrimonial sessions of recent years on Capitol Hill probably was rubbing his or her eyes in disbelief.
