    Nah – it’d probably be John Bolton. He hasn’t pissed in anyone’s soup in a while.

    Unlike Wolfie, Riza actually has some experience in development. That would be an ever so marginal improvement.

    Riza is a career World Bank staffer who speaks five languages and appears to be very competent at her job. Why on earth would Bush appoint her?
