Serpentor for the World Bank

Since U2 lead singer Bono, the favoured candidate of the Los Angeles Times, may not make it as head of the World Bank, Erik from Indiana, who is studying at Notre Dame, considers the appointment of a specially manufactured leader. A Serpentor style President who would rule the World Bank with an iron fist and mortify Malta in the process! From Uncle Screwtape Knows Best:

At first I thought, maybe Bono would make a good choice for leader of the World Bank. Sure the tour might have to be put on hold or maybe just the number of shows trimmed up. But at least it shows people are starting to warm to the idea that maybe World Bank money isn't just for making more money for the World Bank.Yeah right..

That's right originally they were going to create--out of the DNA of Julius Caesar, Hannibal of Carthage, Attilla the Hun, Vlad the Impaler, and the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man--SERPENTOR!!! Then were would we be?!?!

Of course the intent would be to keep him as World Bank puppet-king firmly controlled by Washington. But would that have happened? NO! A man/thing like Serpentor couldn't be caged up...the greatest military geniuses all roled into one body? Are you kidding? He would have ruled over the entire clientelle of the World Bank with an Iron Fist! Tunisia would tremble! Malta would be mortified! And Germany would momentarily stop laughing at America to honor Serpentor with the world's largest all-night rave where everyone had to come as their favorite COBRA villain! [I was thinking of going as Destro, but I probably would have had trouble fitting all my hair inside the silver mask.] Thankfully, we don't have to worry about that.
