Old white guys - the last ethnic group it's OK to rag on
Now that Wolfowitz is on his way to a cushy retirement, here's who the Bush administration is considering to replace him:
Sigh.
Among those mentioned as a possible replacement for Wolfowitz were former Deputy Secretary of State
Robert Zoellick, who was Bush's former trade chief; Robert Kimmitt, the No. 2 at the Treasury Department; Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson; former Rep. Jim Leach, R-Iowa; Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind.,; Stanley Fischer, who once worked at the International Monetary Fund and is now with the Bank of Israel; and former U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker.
Sigh.

Since 1949, Durhamites have slept soundly, secure in the knowledge that, in our town, erection can be depended upon. Now, thanks to the power of the internets, we can spread that security all over the world.

Personally, I think W should be maneuvered (manoeuvred?) into tapping a certain soon-to-be-available yet relatively sleaze-free American political booster as successor to Wolfowitz.
Of course, I'd hesitate to recommend any action that might favor the legacy of the Lameduck-in-Chief. But seriously, I think Tony Blair shouldn't accept too many seats on corporate boards just yet...
