Banker tapped for Bank

It seems every time our el Presidente taps someone for a certain position, his party cringes and the rest of us puke. The World Bank was filled with someone who led the design of arguably the most controversial war in US history, a female fossil for a Supreme Court Justice spot, and a short fuzed-milk man to play nice with the rest of the world. All that being said, the most recent tap seems, in hindsight, a pretty decent one.

It helps that it is someone with banking experience, coupled with a diplomatic (rather than militaristic) background. He just looks like a banker. I can easily see him staring at me over the counter and saying, "Sir, you'll need to fill out a deposit slip for that." Only this time it's going to be, "Cambodia, we'll reduce the interest rate on you 30 year loan by 25% if you stop selling your under 14 population as sex slaves."
