Another First

There is a report in AP/Yahoo that Condoleezza Rice is to be named Scretary of State to replace outgoing Sec'y Colin Powell. This would mark another first for Republicans--the appointment of a black woman as Secretary of State.

Base10 doesn't like to look at Cabinet-level appointments like a racial scorecard. But isn't the Bush administration remarkable in appointing minority members to real positions of power rather than the lesser Cabinet posts normally reserved for them by Democrats like EEOC Chairman or Surgeon General?

Firsts:

First Black Secretary of State.

First Black National Security Advisor.

First Female National Security Advisor.

First Latino Attorney General.
