The nominees second. "Someone forget to tell Sen Dianne Feinstein," tut-tutted Bob Schieffer, anchor of CBS' Face the Nation, when it was bruited that Leon Panetta, former Budget Director and White House Chief of Staff, would be named Director of Central Intelligence. Feinstein, chairwoman-to-be of the Senate Intelligence Committee, favors professional spooks, not career pols, for the job. The irony, Schieffer pointed out, is that the job Panetta wanted was Secretary of Commerce, a slot that is open once more now that Gov Bill Richardson has withdrawn his nomination. NBC's Lisa Myers had outlined Richardson's potential pay-for-play problems with a political action fund contributor and a state bond contract in New Mexico just before Christmas. David Wright (embargoed link) studied Richardson's withdrawal for ABC's A Closer Look and concluded that it was probably no more that an "appearance of impropriety…Most contributions are perfectly legal. To be illegal a prosecutor has to be able to prove the quid pro quo and that is extremely difficult." Nevertheless when Richardson volunteered to quit Barack Obama's team, "no one tried to stop him," Schieffer pointed out.
