Ubiquitous Gordon Johndroe Moves to NSC

Gordonjohndroe What Bush Administration flack job hasn't Gordon Johndroe filled?? Wash Post reports that Johndroe (left) is replacing Frederick Jones as chief spokesman for the National Security Council. Jones, a career Foreign Service officer, has been in the gig for 3 1/2 years and will now return to the State Department.

Johndroe is currently director of strategic communications and planning at the State Department, but was previously spokesguy for FLOTUS and DHS. I hear that after the NSC he's going to become the spokesman over at the Bureau of Printing and Engraving -- just cuz.
