Jones, whose resignation was not unexpected, becomes the latest high-profile official to leave the administration following Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's departure last week.

Can't say I really know much about Jones, but the fact that various knowledgeabe commentators have referred to his as 'the consumate insider' is PC-speak for someone who is intensely political and while they may or may not be highly talented professionally, their current station is due much more to skill at playing partisan politics than anything else.
