What do you do to a man who was the strongest proponent of a war that has since been proved to have been based on faulty and fixed intelligence? If you're Lyndon B. Johnson or George W. Bush, you evidently promote that man to head the World Bank. Reuters has the story:

Paul Wolfowitz, known worldwide as an architect of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, was approved as the World Bank's new president on Thursday.

His nomination by President Bush was sealed in a unanimous vote by the World Bank's 24 executive directors, the bank confirmed.

This hasn't been the best week for every neocon, though. Don Fasnacht of the Richmond Palladium-Item reports:

A well-aimed pie tin filled with goop delayed, but failed to derail, an otherwise civil dialogue on U.S. foreign policy at Earlham Tuesday evening.

Neoconservative journalist and commentator William Kristol was about 30 minutes into his speech on international affairs when a slender young man crossed the stage of Goddard Auditorium and slung the ersatz pastry into his face.

Kristol appeared momentarily stunned, then wiped the brown and white goo from his eyes with a paper towel, stepped back to the podium and said, "Let me just finish this point."

Ouch.
