Hmm... things well in hand. Maybe. If they were so well in hand, you wouldn't have the spectacle of M first wanting to go to RR. BG would have known about it - is it possible that M said NOTHING to BG all along and secretly lobbied for the RR post? Are we to believe that BG knew nothing about it? If he knew nothing - then he's not as well in control as you think. If he did, and M STILL went ahead publicly with the RR move, then it means BG was not able to resolve things with him ahead of time - and so again is not in full control. Bottom line: if things were fully "in hand" by BG, you wouldn't have the public spectacle of M going for RR, and BG having to equally publicly veto the move. Sorry, any way you slice it, whatever occured, was not a display of things "well in hand". I'm not making a big deal out of this, but I think it's still good to be accurate about characterizing the situation.
