The Pendragon's Hall

So far, so good. The President is displaying common sense in selecting his second term cabinet. Condi Rice is being moved from National Security to State. That should be very interesting. Of course a leftist press is trying to drum up support and sympathy for Powell, talking of his "unblemished reputation" (meaning Bush doesn't have one, of course) and how they believe he was "nudged out the door" because "he expected to stay." They don't even remember their own headlines. This summer the headline on AIM.com declared that Powell would not be remaining for the second term.

Bush has also bypassed Rudy Giuliani in favor of Albert Gonzales for attorney general. Well done, that. Gonzales has been a firm legal advisor for the administration and will perform quite capably I am sure. This second administration will be in every way the equal if not the superior of the first term. I look forward to the next four years with great anticipation.
