Bush Women at State 

Bush Women at State

From Rich Lowry at the Corner, linking to The Note:

When the word came out that Karen Hughes was coming back to DC, many people speculated she would be in the White House; but she is joining Condi Rice at the State Department. So is Dina Powell, and Liz Cheney.

Announcement here.

With a bit of exaggeration: the most intelligent women Bush knows, except for his wife, are all working at State. Maybe they are all thinking big things are possible there.

Meanwhile Tim Cavanaugh at Hit and Run speculates that Colin Powell was really a screw-up at State, pure and simple--even that he was the major cause of the "unilateral/insensitive" perception that was usually blamed on Bush.

Hmmm.....
