Paul Wolfowitz, the former U.S. deputy defense secretary and ex-World Bank president, was named on Monday as new chairman of the board of the U.S.-Taiwan Business Council.
...
Wolfowitz resigned from the World Bank last June following an ethics scandal over a promotion and pay rise for his companion, who worked at the institution, which prompted a staff rebellion and concerns by member countries.

Since his departure from the World Bank, Wolfowitz, an architect of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, has been a visiting scholar in foreign defense policy studies at the Washington-based American Enterprise Institute.

In January, the State Department said he would chair a U.S. advisory panel on arms control.

Wolfowitz has been passed around like a hot potato.

How's the job search going, Mr D?
