Paul Wolfowitz is a "skilled diplomat" - according to the President - and therefore Bush is nominating him to head the World Bank. That man creeps me out. Therefore, I really don't like the idea of putting him out there where people from other countries have to look at him.

A long piece from the NYTimes (and of course, registration presumably required) about those prepackaged news pieces the administration has been putting together so prolifically. (So many, nobody seems to know how many of them there are, says the article.)
