The Negroponte Shuffle

This AP News Alert came in last night while we were on the air:
WASHINGTON (AP) A government official says National Intelligence Director John Negroponte will resign to become deputy secretary of state.
...which is odd because the NID (or DNI depending on which acronymn you prefer) is a Cabinet-level post. Negroponte would be moving down. What is this all about? Confederate Yankee has a theory... Pat Robertson makes an appearance, and if you listened to the show last night, you'll know exactly why that is particularly amusing...

As for CY's theory...well, stranger things have happened, but Cheney has been a rock. I don't see him leaving early...
