Good riddance! 

What U.S. foreign policy does not need:  a fierce adovcate who relishes confrontation.  Isn’t that Bush? 

Exactly what kind of "foreign policy" is Obama contemplating?

Not sure if that's your suggestion or the author's, but it strains my credulity.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Folks like this have been around for along time. And yup, they DO populate the ranks of various political organizations like election campaigns. We really shouldn't be surprised when any politician has partisans among his campaign ranks. They bring something important to the table when it comes time to strategize.  In a partisan atmosphere, it behooves any candidate to have some partisans. Sort of like hiring a native guide.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Two things to notice here are 1., that this partisan went off the rails, and so she got bounced, and 2., one partisan is not evidence that the Obama campaign is dominated by them, only that they're not 100%  partisan-free when it comes to hiring political operatives.
