It's a bad day for the Bush administration and the country. The Deputy Secretary of State, one of the ablest senior officials in the Bush administration is leaving his position to take a job at Goldman Sachs.
Two things strike me as interesting about this. One, you've gotta love that revolving door. The guy who wanted to be Secretary of the Treasury is off to Goldman, while the guy who became Treasury Secretary just left Goldman. Secondly, who's the replacement going to be - a Rice person or a Cheney person? Will the White House try (again) to put John Bolton in this job? Watching who fills this job could tell us a lot about what faction currently has power in the White House.
