    The least you could expect is the president of the World Bank to at least dress like a banker.

    He dresses as a policy disaster, every Halloween.

    More questionable employment issues surrounding Shaha Ali Riza, Paul Wolfowitz' companion and the recipient of the favoritism which has placed the World Bank president's job in jeopardy.

    These revelations concern a Defense Department-guided 2003 Iraq trip by Riza. Once again, Paul Wolfowitz' name is attached to the story.

    The article also points-out the longstanding nature of Wolfowitz' and Riza's personal relationship:

    How come Wolfowitz hasn't issued the all-purpose defense "But it was GREAT sex?"

    Apparently, those World Bank loans come with a substantial penalty for early withdrawal.

    Wolfewitz can join Fred Phelps on my list of people who need to be dropped survivor-style on the world's most remote uncomfortable island where they can cause no more harm to the rest of us. Honestly, after serving as the lead "theorist" behind the most misguided catostrophic foreign policy blunder in U.S. history, how does this corrupt dunderhead immediately end up in position to fuck up the World Bank as well? Someone please remove this guy from positions where he may harm others.
