Paul Wolfowitz combines that dogmatic ideology with a really eye-opening degree of incompetence and, as the controversy over his mistress' promotion to a high-paying gig at the World Bank shows, an enormous sense of entitlement. The combination makes him, in my eyes, one of the most complete symbols of the Bush era.

In the first video, Jon Stewart gives the Wolfowitz scandal the Daily Show treatment.

In the second [HT: Atrios], the institution's staffers call for Wolfie's ouster. For my money, he might as well stay -- he's the least of the bank's credibility problems.
