Slightly different titles, maybe not as big of a job as I thought. We’ll have to see what position it is EXACTLY.

I remember when, in 2001, right after Al Gore finally lost the election, she went “under cover.” Al Gore, whose huge ego was becoming self-evident, lectured on a course in some NYC university at some grad school course.

Yes, that was at Middle Tennessee State University. I believe that Nauert had been an intern at FNC, and then went to that school to attend Gore's class.

Okay, here’s what I found, an organizational chart of the state department.

It looks to me that her new position is one of six that report directly to the Secretary of State. It appears it is a State Department version of the “cabinet”.

The Secretary of State’s “cabinet”.

A very BIG job I’d say.

Oops, got the college venue wrong.

I thought Heather’s star power was evident then.

I skimmed the article at first the job wasn’t mentioned until the last paragraph of the excerpt. I was, obviously, way, way too quick on the trigger.

(As has been pointed out....several times.)

I will wait until after the second cup of coffee to post from now on! :-)

The OP is very poorly written. The attempt to hide the snark failed.

Hey Frances, lighten the eff up.

How many times do I have to apologies for missing the lead in a horribly written story?

The next time you get the urge to attack someone, why don’t you go back to hitting your wife.
