Bush to replace Wolfensohn with Wolfowitz at World Bank; cites 'experiences,' similar name

When challenged as to Iraq war architect Paul Wolfowitz's fitness to replace James Wolfensohn as president of the World Bank, President Bush carefully detailed a long and distinguished list of qualifications: "...[H]e's a man of good experiences. He helped manage a large organization. The World Bank is a large organization; the Pentagon is a large organization - he's been involved in the management of that organization [actual quote]." Bush also added, "His proven ability to orchestrate the destruction of a country like Iraq and then predicate its re-development on the enrichment of U.S. corporations is proof enough of his ability to lead an organization with a record like the World Bank's."

When pressed further as to why other more qualified candidates were overlooked, and whether Wolfowitz's confirmation yesterday as World Bank president, combined with the appointment of U.N.-basher John Bolton as U.N. ambassador, could be seen as giving the finger to the rest of the world with both hands, Bush grinned sheepishly while answering: "Well, it was also because their names are alike - Paul Wolfywitz and that Wolfysohn guy there. I think names with 'Wolf' in them are cool. They're ferocious and powerful animals, and can strike at any second. That's important - whether you're helping poor loser countries get their act together, or making the Middle East safe for democracy. That's why I'm also naming Wolf Blitzer of CNN as Paul's replacement for Deputy Secretary of Defense. Otherwise I might have picked someone from Fox News - those guys are awesome. A fox is also a dangerous animal, but not as dangerous as a wolf, because wolfs [sic] are bigger. They're scary, and you don't mess with 'em. If I had a son, I would name him Wolf, or maybe Cougar."
