Otto Reich is kinda sacked, but kinda not, from his State Department Latin America job. The stubborness of Senate Dems made him impossible to get confirmed and his recess appointment is now expired as of the Senate sessionโ€™s close. Powellโ€™s made him a special envoy (unclear what that means), but the White House plans to renominate him in the new, more reasonable Senate. Heโ€“and weโ€“deserves nothing less.
