President Bush has nominated Margaret Spellings to become the country’s new Education Secretary. Spellings had been working as the White House Domestic Policy Adviser. Before that Spellings worked as an advisor to Bush in Texas. Bush also appointed longtime friend and another Texan, Harriet Miers, to be the chief White House Counsel to replace Alberto Gonzales who has been nominated for Attorney General. Miers has been serving as deputy chief of staff. Both nominations continue the recent trend of Bush only nominating long-time loyalists to top positions for his second term.
