Rice Replaces Powell, how bad can it get?

I can't believe Bush is going to ask Rice to be Secretary of State, obviously she was hopeless in her role of mediator between State and Defense but at least Powell was able to be some voice of reason when presented with arguments by Rumsfeld and his posse of neo-cons. Now Rumsfeld will be able to run wild. I guess I could still hold out hope for a National Security advisor with some clout. Since my predictions are always wrong I'll go with Wolfowitz that way I'll be over-joyed when it doesn't happen. I guess nobody turns down the President but I hope she does us all a favor and takes the job teaching in California; maybe she will learn something.
