Ahhhh, running the World Bank like Tony Soprano. It might even be a show I'd like to watch.

The Guardian reports that as the details of Paul Wolfowitz's deal to give a hefty pay package to girlfriend, Shaha Riza, were threatening to be revealed, Wolfowitz threatened senior World Bank staffers that they'd pay if the deal was revealed publicly. "If they f-ck with me or Shaha," raged Wolfowitz, according to the internal report on Wolfowitz's conduct, "I have enough on them to f-ck them too."

Late Update: Find more fun nuggets. The report is available here at the World Bank website.
