Bush's nominations

You have to think that Bush is fully intent on breaking the second term curse for lameness. Just look at these nominations:

• John Bolton for U.N. Ambassador (update: Steyn has a great piece here)

• Karen Hughes for undersecretary of state for public diplomacy

• Paul Wolfowitz for head of the world bank (for more on Wolfowitz read David Brooks “Credit where it’s due”, and Mark Steyn has the best line on him ever: the most sinister of all the neocons, the big bad Wolfowitz, the man whose name started with a scary animal and ended Jewishly)

You especially have to like Bolton and Wolfowitz, because lefties are up in arms over both picks.
