Paul Wolfowitz's Sock Has a Hole in It!
World Bank President and former Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz has reminded the world how "fiscally conservative, " "fashion backward" and "hygienically unfortunate" Little-Big-Man Wolfowitz is.... On a visit to Turkey yesterday, Wolfowitz flashed a sock with a hole in it! And was caught on camera!
Wolfowitz is in Turkey for two days of official meetings. Since arriving, he has praised Turkey for its economic and political stability. Wolfowitz had breakfast yesterday with college students who are working on different projects funded by the World Bank. He then travelled from Istanbul to Edirne in northwestern Turkey, where he visited the Selimiye Mosque.
As Wolfowitz took off his shoes to enter the Selimiye Mosque, one of his socks was observed to be torn. To be more precise.... at least one to
e was seen poking through a hole in his gray sock -- make that toes through holes in socks (pictured right)!
Seemingly unashamed by his feet, Wolfowitz went about his business in the mosque. After the visit (and with his shoes, thankfully, on his feet), he attempted to buy two necklaces for his daughters in the shopping area next to the mosque. Realizing he did not have sufficient money ($275 YTL - about $196) to pay for the necklaces, he had to borrow it from his security detail.

Perhaps Wolfowitz can pick up some new socks from L.L.Bean, since his friend Rumsfeld is modeling for them now.
the Mexican newspaper Publico had these pictures on the from page this morning:

It never surprises me. The richest people in the world are CHEAPskates! Canada's (now dead) billionaire Ken Thomsom would walk across the street to another store to save 20 cents on a loaf of bread. You would think this multi-millionaire (Paul the neocon) could at least spend $3 at Marshalls on a new pair of socks... what a schmuck
He was going into a mosque, but those socks are "Holy, Holy, Hoooohhhhleee, merciful and mighty."
This means wolfowitz is a good man,he is always working,so how can he have time for that??do you like to be sieng him with diamond socks??like nigerians??thats bad..so u big headed najib believe that a begger can never be bankrupt!!!
Paul is a good man i know.....Not like the fucking nigerians...Najib take note.........
There's this website that developed the interesting idea of selling socks by subscription, www.bizsox.com. They used the Wolfowitz sock fiasco to promote their business in one of their press releases. For sure if you get your socks regularly in your mail, you've got no excuse for holes in your toes!
Good Job! :)
