what does everyone think of this development?

[rockabyebaby]

Better than Bono IMO!

[orionblamblam]

I think it'll drive some people nuts.

[Cat loving Texan]

Bush on offense again. This will drive more Democrat insanity. Insane Democrat reaction = Progress and good news.

Check out the LIVE THREAD from president's presser that has over 400 posts. Interesting commentary.

Most excellent choice. I love Wolfowitz!

[ambrose]

Uh oh, the "Go Pat Go!" crowd is not going to like this...

And, welcome to FR this week.

The choice of Wolfowitz is seen as likely to stir controversy

The MSM attacks the President on a daily basis anyway. Might as well give them something to complain about, so they don't have so much time to dig up forgeries and lies.

I met Eugene Black once, at tea after a sailboat race. Those were the days when the bank had some respect and there was a widespread illusion that it might do some good in the world. Maybe Wolfowitz can get it back on track.

Isn't that where LBJ sent McNamara when he wanted to be rid of him?

hee hee...I can't wait for the DUmmies, and other assorted lefties, to start squealing about how the "BFEE" is taking over the world.

You know I think regardless of the merits of Wolfowitz Bush's approach of going face to face with the liberal media establishment instead of trying to be diplomatic with it might be the greatest thing about GWB. It seems to me to me that future Republican presidents should seriously consider that the MSM should be considered as already dead. We should have a funeral for the MSM.

this appointment is consistent with his appointment of bolton to UN envoy. no mercy, no backing off...

[CyberAnt]

I think it's great! And .. after hearing the incoherent statement regarding it from Nancy Pelosi - I think it's even greater!!

[liberty2004]

I have been reading Wolfowitz for years, and think he is one of the best foreign policy wonks around.

Wolfowitz is a wonderful choice. A visionary thinker, with a good grasp of the power of Liberty.

It'll drive the libs nuts, so I'm all for it.

[mjtobias]

"how the "BFEE" is taking over the world."

What's "BFEE"?

[Gator101]

I think you are right on with that bkepley. I think we are starting to see the Republican leadership, led by GWB, begin to understand that the MSM now longer holds the kind of power they once did. You can actually take them on...and win.
