Appointing Partisan Hacks

BushCo's intellectual dishonesty record continues unmarred by honesty with Bush's nominee to replace Wolfowitz as head of the World Bank.

This time, he's selected Condoleezza Rice's lead assistant:

As deputy secretary of state, Mr Zoellick was chief aide to Condoleezza Rice between February 2005 and June last year.


Perhaps a somewhat less corrupt slimeball than Wolfowitz, but it would be nice if, for once, the candidate was nominated for their abilities, rather than their connections to Bush.
