U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice has removed her name from consideration for secretary of state, saying she does not want to put the administration through a "lengthy, disruptive and costly" confirmation process.

Silver lining in this cloud...Brown could still go back to the Senate to fill Skerry's old seat.
