Hard times at the World Bank

Paul Wolfowitz, president of the World Bank, was required to remove his shoes when he visited a mosque in western Turkey recently. Note his socks, or should I say, his toes. His footwear seems to be in the same condition as the advice he gave George Bush when he was deputy secretary of defense. Or for that matter, the advice the World Bank offers developing countries.

Anyway, one would think the bank could advance Paul a few bucks so he can get down to the mall and do some shopping.
