I mean, there has to be something wrong with the guy. Afterall, it was Bush who appointed him and we all know what happens when Bush appoints anyone to anything.

The fact that Bush appointed him. I mean serious, this is set up to fail. All of Bush's appointees were big flops to date.

His last name is going to be very hard to spell when drunk, and I suspect that this will cause a 3.7% rise in the suicide rate among journalists and bloggers.


There's also this picture here:

What? You don't see what's so bad about that picture? What if I told you that, mere moments after this photo was shot, Zoellick unhinged his jaw and swallowed the poor creature alive!?
I'd be lying of course, but that never stopped me in the past.

Which is why I wonder why the World Bank didn't vote away the custom that the US could make the appointment. I really don't understand why they would allow it once again after seeing Bush's track record. The world is co complicated!

Theres something so unsettling about that guy in any of his pictures that I have seen. He looks like a child molester or something equally vile. Honestly. *shudders*

The last person you'd want in charge would be someone with close ties to currency traders, like George Soros. The only reason Wolfowitz got booted was so Soros' pick would get chosen, and funnel George inside info.

Well that and the fact that he's a Bush appointee. Moreso on the latter though without that he would still creep me out I bet.
