Shifting deckchairs
The Bush administration has renominated John Bolton as UN ambassador in the lame duck session to avoid Biden's avowal that such a nomination is "going nowhere." But, once again, soon to be ex-Senator Lincoln Chafee will serve as the block to such a nomination.
According to Steve Clemons, Chafee will shortly call "a press conference to state categorically that he will not support John Bolton's confirmation in the upcoming lame duck session."
In other moves, RNC chair Ken Mehlman is leaving.
Steven Cambone, Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and one of Rumsfeld's more controversial guys, is expected to leave. (Forced out by Gates?)
And, Condi leaving? Negroponte to Sec State? Did I miss a rumor?

Ken leaving ! Is he being escorted out of town, tarred and feathered, or just shot?

Limbaugh apparently played Bill Maher outing Mehlman on his shot today, so I would say tarred and feathered.
