Hey, aren’t we supposed to have a Secretary of Commerce?

OK, I understand that it was completely unexpected* that Gov Bill Richardson (D-NM) (and author of the book Leading by Example**) might have been caught up in pay-for-play shenanigans, but he dropped out January 4th. That was over two weeks ago: why are they still vetting people? Didn’t they have a backup?

You’d think that they would have had a backup for Commerce, given that we’re in the middle of one thoroughly messed-up economy. What if Richardson had been hit by a bus, or something?

  2. Actually, Secretary of Commerce is one of those jobs that doesn’t really have all that much to supervise — you could move everything in Commerce into other departments and abolish the post, and nobody would notice anything.
