If I knew everything I would understand how you can fuck up like these two did and get promoted for it. I mean, how do you even get in a position where that's possible?

Come to think of it. Wolfowitz didn't really fuck up. He did fucked-up things.

Fiorina Called Candidate for World Bank
By ELIZABETH BECKER

WASHINGTON, March 1 - Carleton S. Fiorina, who lost her job as chief executive of Hewlett-Packard almost three weeks ago, has emerged as a strong candidate to become president of the World Bank, according to an official in the Bush administration.

Paul D. Wolfowitz, the deputy secretary of defense, was also under serious consideration, according to the official, who refused to be identified because discussion about the candidates is continuing.

Alls I can say is that as long as you don't fuck your friends-in-high-places, you will always have a spare parachute. For some reason, I'm powerful curious to see how Fiorina would do. Who knows her politics?

Knowing the World Bank's politics gives you a strong clue about the politics of anyone they'd consider for the position.

Anyway, it's just struck me weird momentarily. It seems these folks are our Brahmin class...no matter what they do, they're still Brahmins.

A western Brahmin class...yes, I like that. How apt. And good point about the WB selection comittee -- they ain't puttin (say) Chomsky up for nomination (if he would even accept it).
