Why would the WH announce it NOW?
Showing respect to the Senate, I imagine. Telling them before the rest of the public.
And as everyone knows the Senate leaks like a sieve.
I say that any Senator (or staff member) that leaks the name, ought to have their security clearance yanked.
"Cheney to SCOTUS, Rice to VP!"
Wouldn't that frost the lib ass!
Be Seeing You,
