Ironically enough, it is the free market that is determining that the next Treasury Secretary will be drawn from the “loyalty and old boy’s club” pool. Once they’ve emasculated the Treasury Secretary position like this, not even the prestige of being in the cabinet is going to attract anyone with real talent and any kind of balls.
Of course, someone with real talent, balls and real imagination might take the job anyway. So that at her first cabinet meeting, when they start talking about Iraq, she jumps in with her personal views, after going “At cabinet meetings we all speak our minds freely, right?”
