Banking on Wolfowitz

President Bush nominated Paul Wolfowitz to head the World Bank...this move compliments his nomination of John Bolton as Ambassador to the U.N....the Empire Strikes Back theme music keeps chiming in my head...Bush elevates neocon Kevin Martin to head the FCC.

While the liberal objections and cool reactions from "old Europe" countries has caught my attention, the activity of this Administration has just become amusing to me.

The World Bank apparently does not "measure up" to standard when its track record is judged over the past ten years. This, still, is a quite disturbing trend of the present Administration applying policy techniques across boundaries of expertise.

I guess you don't need a law degree to be nominated for the Supreme Court, eh ?
