At least he's consistent...

Paul Wolfowitz always obtaining the same level of non-success:

Two years after he was named to take over the World Bank, former Pentagon deputy chief Paul Wolfowitz is under broad and sustained fire for his leadership of the powerful global lender...

...Disquiet about Wolfowitz's staff management also runs deep, according to current and former personnel. The disquiet began early on in his tenure when Wolfowitz appointed personal allies drawn from Republican ranks to key posts.

In August, the Bank's vice-president in charge of the Middle East, Christiaan Poortman, announced his resignation after opposing plans by Wolfowitz to post more staff to war-torn Iraq.

"Wolfowitz has now been there 21 months and we still don't know what he wants to do with the World Bank," said one expert in development policy.
