He's doing a great job. For the US state department. The NY Times reports that US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice has been busy pounding the phones over the past weeks in support of her pal Paul. "She has spoken with several European foreign ministers about her positive impressions of Paul and the job he's doing at the World Bank," said Sean McCormack, state department spokesman. Fortunate for Paul that there isn't much else going on in the world at the moment - say in the Middle East - to distract the secretary of state from the more important business of defending Bush cronies.
