Rice seems to share the immediate, take-charge decision-making style President Bush employs when reading to pre-schoolers) and Bob Zoellick will be the Deputy Secretary of State. He would not my pick in an ideal world, but a Bush administration is hardly my ideal world, and he seems to be a capable guy.
