paul wolfowitz? PAUL WOLFOWITZ? to head the WORLD BANK? are you KIDDING me? in jeff sachs' words:

He is a man without international development experience, without professional qualifications. He is not a banker or an economist, not a public health specialist, a water management specialist, an agronomist, a climate change specialist. He is a defence specialist and so if this were the World Defence Council it would make sense.

first gonzales, then bolton, now wolfowitz. there are no words.

Best quote... | edward

I could find...

"There are two interpretations" of the selection of Wolfowitz, said Guillaume Parmentier, who heads the French Center on the United States, a research organization in Paris. "One is the optimistic one -- that this is going to take him away from U.S. policy. . . . The pessimistic interpretation is that this administration has to give sop to the far right. There was Bolton and now Wolfowitz -- where does it stop?"

Indeed. We really live in a strange world...hopefully some people will fight back against this.
