SLOW NEWS DAY

He's at it again, ma. President Bush chose another insider to head the World Bank after doing all he could to save the job for a disgraced bank president. Robert Zoellick, with years of experience in the State Department will replace Paul Wolfowitz as the top man. Those two are buddies, you know. Paul and Bob were together in the notorious group in the Pentagon and state under "The Project for an American Century." This was the plan devised and being sold to Rumsfeld, Cheney and others before 9-11. That's right. Before the atrocity at the World Trade Center.

The group was nicknamed "Neocons" (new conservatives) and was comprised of some familiar names. Besides Paul and Bob, there was Elliot Abrams, Richard Armitage, Richard Perle, Larry Franklin (now in prison for spying for Israel), and William Kristol. Each of them has a story on the fringe of shadiness, at least. They were the architects of the War on Iraq.

So it's here we go again. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Bush names Robert Zoellick, another character with the usual credentials: CFR and Trilateral Commission membership. Those are essential to high level promotion in Washington.

Hope and pray that they all make it into the history books.

* If this administration is so well-supported by Republicans, why isn't Vice President Dick Cheney among the list of candidates for president?
