In a shocking move, John Kerry has issued a press release opposing Paul Wolfowitz as President Bush’s nominee to head the World Bank. If Wolfowitz isn’t careful, Kerry might get really angry and circulate an online petition:

“Coming on the heels of the appointment of John Bolton to be ambassador to the United Nations, this is now another mystifying choice by the Bush administration for an important role in the community of nations. It makes you wonder whether all the administration's words about mending fences with our allies are just lip service. After Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz's repeated and serious miscalculations about the costs and risks America would face in Iraq, I don't believe he is the right person to lead the World Bank.”
