Profiles in Crassness: Wolfowitz Mainstream press outlets have begun printing long profiles of the incoming President of the World Bank. A few interesting tidbits here and there, but nothing too shocking. The Financial Times profile tries to get a bead on the man's political and philosophical evolution, calling him the "modern intellectual high priest of the neo-conservative movement." The Guardian's piece goes over much the same ground, but is introduced with the useful reminder the scene in Michael Moore's "Farenheit 911" in which Wolfowitz spits on his comb before combing his hair.
