Hmmmmm.  Maybe the Duchess Hilarious is on to something when she states that the economy could collapse.
At least, it’s possible if these are the best candidates they can find to head the World Bank.
Treasury Secretary John Snow on Sunday would not rule out the idea of Irish singer Bono, an activist on debt relief and AIDS, making the short list of potential candidates to lead the World Bank even though an American is expected to get the job.
“He’s somebody I admire. He does a lot of good in this world of economic development,” Snow said.
“Most people know him as a rock star. He’s in a way a rock star of the development world, too. He understands the give-and-take of development. He’s a very pragmatic, effective and idealistic person,” Snow said.
Ooooooooooo-kay.
You do  realize, don’t you, John-o, that we’re talking about a guy who just wrote a song, the lyrics of which start out…and I quote:
Uno…dos…tres…catorce…!!!
Which, for those of you who did not  marry a native Honduran last year, literally means “One…two…three…fourteen.
Nice.  That’s all we need to head up the World Bank – someone who can’t count.
Or, if Bono’s not your cup of tea, perhaps we could offer up…
Another candidate who has surfaced is Carly Fiorina, the recently ousted chief executive of Hewlett-Packard Co.
“She’s also a friend and somebody I think well of,” Snow told ABC’s “This Week.” But, he added, “I think we’re going to have to wait to reveal that next president of the World Bank for a little while.”
Wonderful.  Just friggin’ wonderful.   A rockstar who’s numerically challenged and a supermodel CEO who drove her company into the ground.
Uh, Duchess?  What was that you were saying about the economy again…?
