copyright 2009, The Washington Post WASHINGTON -- Buzz has it that one of the Republican picks for a spot on the part-time -- but nonetheless important -- Broadcasting Board of Governors is former White House press secretary Dana Perino. Perino, now 'chief issues counselor' for public relations giant Burson-Marsteller, earlier had been communications director for the White House Council on Environmental Quality and a press secretary on the House side. There are eight members of the board, plus Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton or her designee. Four spots are vacant. Four others are filled by longtime holdovers whose terms have expired.
