Pierre Trudeau! Jacques Chirac! Marcel Proust! Christian Dior! The president of Harvard! The guy who founded the modern Olympic games! Paul Bremer!

All right, never mind that last one.

    I don’t think writing a 3000 page novel, designing clothes, and bombing Iraq have a lot to do with running an economy.

    Nice how you omitted the Deputy Secretary of the US Treasury Dept. He’s clearly doing a bang-up job. Don’t you think? Or maybe the CEO of Credit Suisse… he kept a good hold on those rogue traders ans billions in faulty loans right? Oh and the CFO of Standard & Poor’s. How’s their index doing lately?
    Mayhaps a bit of bias found its way into this posting…
