KS: Brownback leaving?!
As Chris Bowers said: Please let this be true.
Speculation reaches us from a well-placed source that President Bush's thoughts may be turning to his buddy, Sam Brownback, as a possible next [World] Bank president.
His development experience appears limited. He's an advocate of democracy assistance, piloting a bill to support opposition groups in Iran for example. He's also lambasted the international development community for its failure to use DDT in combating malaria.
We reckon that a Brownback candidacy would play well with Bush's base at home (there'd be rejoicing in the Corner); disastrously with pretty much everyone abroad.
Not sure how seriously Brownback is being considered, but worth watching...
Kathleen Sebelius, Gov of Kansas and a Democrat, would surely appoint a Democrat. A possible pick-up NO ONE expected.
