Farewell to Wolfowitz
By Lowell | May 18, 2007
The reign of terror incompetence corruption Paul Wolfowitz as World Bank President has ended. Here are a few thoughts from the progressive blogosphere:
*Daily Kos has an article entitled, “Just a Flesh Wound,” playing off of Monty Python’s famous skit. McJoan writes, “Ah, the Bush legacy–entirely new definitions for things like ‘honor and dignity,’ ‘ethically and in good faith,’ ‘best interests of the institution.’”
*The Washington Note writes, “Wolfowitz — the man with the ten year invasion plan for Iraq, who whether he got it right in the Iraq War or not, who is considered to be a strategist and mathematical wizard — failed to offer any serious strategy when he came into the Bank and failed to deploy a rational strategy when being forced out.”
*The Huffington Post says that ” it is disheartening to hear some of the names of candidates being proposed to replace Paul Wolfowitz” - “some of them are known to be terrible leaders and managers.”
*Think Progress reports that “a couple of the names being floated indicate that the [Bush] administration has not learned its lessons from the Wolfowitz scandal, and plans to install a loyalist who will promote the administration’s agenda over sound bank policies.” Think Progress specifically mentions Tony Blair and Bill Frist as possibilities.
