Yıllık maaşı en az 400 bin dolar — Here is a pic of Paul Wolfowitz, architect of the Iraq fiasco, entering a mosque in Turkey. Apparently other things besides his Iraq strategy has holes. He now heads the World Bank. Can someone buy this man new socks? While this picture is all over the Middle and Near East the US press has chosen to ignore it. Too funny I suppose.

You know, this is funny and all… but. This is actually kind of nuts. Like Howard Hughs with 4″ long fingernails. Or Boris Yeltzin who didn’t realize he pissed himself. Something just ain’t right.
Nice to see the head of the world bank is so thrifty..
#1 what’s wrong that the head of the world bank having holes in his socks? he’s showing humbleness in a place of worship
Even more frightening is that Wolfowitz is now head of the World Bank.
Forget his holes in the socks….if I were into conspiracy, I would be wondering what associations he has now….
I’d say the socks are they only truly holy thing about this picture.
why is it that having holes in your socks is a big deal?i would guess that is a common thing. but i have this thing about other people seeing the holes in my socks.where did my attitude about that come from,,i have no problem walking around in the privacy of my own apartment with holes in socks, but yet it bothers me if someone else sees them,,i’m a hypocrite when it comes to that..i say it’s no big deal & yet it bothers me.Why?
it doesn’t bother me to see other peoples holes in socks, but i feel embarrassed when others see the holes in my socks…i guees i relate holes in socks to poverty.i really don’t know..silly me!!
So he didn’t listen to his Mom about underwear?
J/P=?
thats whatcha get for not clipping those toenails
I never wear the same pair of socks twice. Rodney Dangerfield had a similar problem with socks too. I hate the way they look after they have been washed and I hate to try and match them up. It costs me approximately $6K per year for socks. There is nothing worse than seeing someone in a nice suit and shoes with a shitty pair of socks.
Holes in socks don’t represent poverty or long nails. Poor people who live in a messy home are still trash. You can still be poor and clean. Thread and a needle aren’t expensive and most likely free in most hotels Wolfowitz stays.
Whenever I purchase a house or car from someone I look at how they treated the item. Its a representation of any hidden problems. For example, if a person keeps a messy car interior filled with stains and trash, then most likely that person also neglected important engine maintainence, etc.
Going somewhere like Asia or the Middle East or any country whose customs require you to take off your shoes then for pete’s sake get some socks without holes you idiot. This oversight is just a representation of the person’s attitude and carelessness and usually represents ignorance, laziness and self-centeredness.
Horrible suit, dirty shoes, poor personal grooming, physically unfit and a bad haircut. Must be a civil servant.
Didn’t “Fahrenheit 9/11″ also have some hilarious footage of Wolfowitz combing his hair with spittle? He seems like the classic nerd who was taunted as a child — just look at the ears — and made up for it by rising to high office and starting a war.
As someone once said, the neocons are so far to the left they only seem like they’re on the right, and this sure seems to apply to the Wolfman.
And what is it with presidents of the World Bank? Wolfowitz’s predecessor was James Wolfensohn. I nominate Los Lobos to succeed Wolfowitz.

New pair of socks every day for 365 days a year? And this costs you $6000!! Man you’re paying too much for your socks! Cripes.
Anything that makes him look like the neocoward colon-blow he truly is – is way cool by me.
Hey hey hey, you guys don’t know Paul Wolfawitz. As an accomplished economist he knows the derived utility from owning, and wearing, socks with a few holes in them derives similar utility as ones without. I for one own several socks with holes and they still function in a similar, if not homogeneous, manner.
Often times the way that a person dresses has nothing to do with their personality. As a poster above mentioned, he presumes that the current image is a fair judge on how something that he buys used, has been taken care of. I have news for him. There are plenty of people that don’t fit this mold. I find that the more that people have an outward appearance of niceness, or cleanliness, or neatness, the more they are trying to hide.
Such is the case of Mr. Wolfowitz. He is trying to show a good impression with shiny new shoes, a new designer suit, nice clean white shirt and tie. But underneath this thin facade, he has holes in his socks, and cares nothing about the welfare of his fellow human beings. I bet he has holes in his underwear too! Not to mention, I bet his cholesterol is way up, and he eats like a pig!
His Emperor has no clothes.
#12 I don’t think Michael Moore should be the one pointing out someone else’s bad higiene habits or scruffy looks
the 3 operative words..
tightwad,,embarrass…holes..
amusing since i have been sitting here for the last 5 hours sipping beers & reading these comments on the j.c.d site,but i would really like to chat with john or some of his buddies about the really meaningful things that are occurring now on the web…not holes in socks,,,come on, give me a breack,,
holes in socks is just not teaching me anything…
I would worry more about the holes in his head, myself.
