WASHINGTON, July 26 | Mon Jul 26, 2010 1:23pm EDT

WASHINGTON, July 26 (Reuters) - Wall Street criticism would not disqualify consumer rights advocate Elizabeth Warren to be the head of a new consumer financial protection bureau, the White House said on Monday.

"Elizabeth Warren is a terrific candidate. I don't think any criticism in any way by anybody would disqualify her and I think she's very confirmable for this job," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said at a news briefing.
