The "great seducer" has officially resigned. Lipsky is in charge until he retires. The EU is pushing for a born and bred European, meaning one of the two Germans, the other French woman, and the Brit. Meh, I say. An emphatic Meh (as emphatic as it gets).
The world economy is in a doldrum-enhancing state of serious Meh, and the Europeans wish to continue the Meh-ness of our Meh-conomy by choosing leaders of whom I will say again... Meh.
Let's go for better than "meh". Let's go for "oh." And that "oh" is Stanley Fischer. If it makes the French and Germans feel better, he isn't American. I mean... technically the guy is African and Israeli. Hm...
Again this really isn't going on qualifications. Fischer is a superb economist, and the Bank of Israel has been doing better than "meh" even through the recession. Can the Germans, French, and Brits say that? I guess we will soon see if the IMF rewards mediocrity... in which case I really should apply. I'm very good with meh-diocrity.
