Bush appoints ex-Enron advisor as new World Bank president

<< You’d think that after having Paul Wolfowitz resign due to a scandal, he’d pick someone who is squeaky clean. But no, apparently Bush’s cronyism is stronger than his desire for clean ethics. Zoellick was a paid, share-holding advisor to Enron before joining the Bush administration. Zoellick apparently jumped off the Enron ship right before it sank. >>

Why would anyone think that?  Bush has been consistent in his cronyism, showing no sign of concern for anyone other that small percentage of multi-millionaires he shares profit and power with.

He'd fit in well at the World Bank.

There are only a handful of people in the world capable of "playing along" with the unwritten rules of the world, as well as understanding the intricacies and complexity of running such an organization.

I actually don't criticize the selection.  You knew someone from inside their circle would get it.  The World Bank continuing to run as it has been is good for America, even if it is some golden parachute enron guy.  It's not a job designed for the pope to run.
