Bush Taps Glassman

From the AP:

President Bush tapped magazine publisher James K. Glassman to head the agency that directs U.S. overseas broadcasts, replacing a chairman whose tenure has been stormy.

Glassman, a fellow at the conservative American Enterprise Institute think tank in Washington, will replace embattled chairman Kenneth Y. Tomlinson, who resigned in January as chairman of the Broadcasting Board of Governors.

Bush had renominated Tomlinson to continue as chairman on Nov. 14, after Republicans lost control of both chambers of Congress. The nomination stalled in the Democratic-controlled Senate on the basis of a report by the State Department’s inspector general, which had been released in August 2006. It said Tomlinson had misused government money for two years as chairman.

Question: Who is going to take over the nascent “American” for Glassman?
