    I wouldn't rate either especially high.

    The ones in recent memory that I rate are Baker, Schultz and Kissinger.

    Warren Christopher and Cy Vance were the worst that I can think of.

    Well, you know, he and Betsy DeVos.

    Seriously, though, I think he's a legit bulwark against craziness and entropy. I'll be nervous as hell if he leaves.

    It is. Just underscores that it's not a "pursuing other opportunities/spending more time with my family" situation. The firing apparently stemmed from background check issues.

    Very strange that he had to leave without his personal effects including his jacket.

    Equally strange that the Trump presidential campaign issued a statement saying that he will join the 2020 effort as a senior adviser for campaign operations.

    CNN reporting Homeland Security investigating McEntee for serious financial crimes. Why would Homeland Security be investigating financial crimes? Smuggling? Trading commodity futures with ISIS (they seem to know a thing or two about straddles and strangles)? Seems bizarre.

    Apparently he was told recently that he was on the way out. So I don't think that he was fired in response to his comments there, but I do think his comments were a little freer because he knew he was out.

    Mr. Tillerson learned he had been fired on Tuesday morning when a top aide showed him a tweet from Mr. Trump announcing the change, according to senior State Department official. But he had gotten an oblique warning of what was coming the previous Friday from the White House chief of staff, John F. Kelly, who called to tell him to cut short a trip to Africa and advised him “you may get a tweet.”

    "Oblique" lol yeah

    Two things: anyone with any kind of tales to tell is going to be kept close and rewarded for loyalty. Also, apparently he was a Trump guy, but his firing was obviously not a Trump initiative, so it makes a certain kind of Trump-sense that he'd be rewarded with that gig.

    But wow...the best people.

    The narrative doesn't exude the necessary pizazz if he wasn't forced out so abruptly that he left his jacket, though.

    Pompeo is a hawk. Trump has wanted him at State since last summer. His appointment pretty clearly foreshadows the tenor of the upcoming negotiations with North Korea and the imminent pullout from the Iranian agreement.

    Y'all are gonna get really uppity when he fingers Bolton for NSA.

    I like the Haspel pick.

    Haha, so apparently they've also canned the Undersecretary who released a statement about Tillerson's firing.

    Pompeo is not a bad choice for state imo. Bolton is a joke.
