Agree. Bad choice for the cabinet position.  A brilliant woman, but a complete snake.  She will do what she is told, and is well under the thumb of Herr Bush.  Potentially dangerous as well; we'll have to see. Colin Powell is a gentleman, and thinks on his feet..hence he gets chopped (no surprise, I think he was planning to leave anyways because he disagreed with Bush admin decisions and said so quite blatantly).  Now we get the "other" token A.A. cabinet choice..the one who can be controlled with puppet strings.  BTW..she's not really Black.  Looks can be very deceiving.
