"KERRY'S COUP

Sen. John Kerry's disclosure of President Bush's long-awaited choice of a manufacturing czar shocked and angered officials in the White House, including George W. Bush himself.

Secretary of Commerce Donald Evans was supposed to announce the nomination of Nebraska industrialist Anthony F. Raimondo to the new post of assistant secretary for manufacturing. But Kerry beat Evans to the punch by not only disclosing Raimondo's name but also revealing that he had opened a factory in China. Raimondo withdrew his name from consideration Thursday night.

The president and his senior staff were described as apoplectic. Republican insiders were less impressed by the Kerry campaign team somehow learning about Raimondo than by its rapid distribution of details about his China connection."

more screw up by the white house .. they also didn't talk to the senator from the state of Nebraska who has no use for this guy so they wouldn't have gotten his have approval for this normination to begin with.
