Behold our Humble Self-Proclaimed GREATNESS

The Bush Administration, to paraphrase Terrell Owens, "They love them some them!"

Not content with sticking a shiv in the United Nations with a noted UN Hater, the freeper lovers of Lord Bush have found a new object to cream their short pants over, the McNamarization of Wolfowitz.

Who gives a fuck what the rest of the world thinks right?

There has been a cool response to President Bush's nomination of Paul Wolfowitz to be the next head of the World Bank, a key development agency.

Mr Wolfowitz, 61, currently US Deputy Defence Secretary, has a reputation as a "neo-conservative" hawk and was a key architect of the Iraq war.

News of his candidacy brought criticism from aid agencies and faint praise from several European government ministers.

Mr Bush described Mr Wolfowitz as a "compassionate, decent man".

French and German ministers were guarded in their reaction, while Sweden's foreign minister said she was sceptical about the nomination.


I have to admit I'm a little disappointed.

Granted, I cannot think of a more appropriate Bush Appointment. The guy at the world bank is the same guy that predicted we could use Iraq's Oil to make the invasion and occupation self-financing, something that turned out not only to be perhaps the worst public prediction since Franz Ferdinand boasted "The Serbs LOVE ME!" but which implied that oil prices would be kept down. Another classic!

I was really hoping against hope that Lawrence Kudlow would be appointed by Bush. The policies would still be as bad, but the entertainment value would be out of sight.
