Remember "Mr. Wolf" from "Pulp Fiction"? That's james baker.

James Baker has been the go-to guy for four consecutive Republican presidents, dating back to Gerald Ford.

He's done it all, from secretary of state to party bagman, and just about everything in between. He's run election campaigns, raised heaps of cash and served as an international emissary. During the 2000 Florida recount mess, Baker led the legal and PR machine that salvaged George W. Bush's sullied victory.

All eyes are again on Baker as he looks for a way out of the Iraq mess for the United States. He heads the bipartisan Iraq Study Group, which has been quietly studying options for Iraq, with the blessing of the White House and funding from Congress.

The group is expected to issue its recommendations in late December or early January. And according to published reports, the panel's proposals could include a call for a rapprochement with Iran and Syria, an international conference on Iraq, a concentration on stability rather than democracy in Iraq, as well as a timetable for slowly pulling out the roughly 140,000 U.S. troops in the country.
---------------

Harvey Keitel played Mr. Wolf, he was the guy they called in when something was totally fucked up and had to be taken care of immediately if not sooner.

That is james baker's function now, to clean up the bloody mess of Iraq's brains all over the back seat of dubya's hot rod, to get dick and dubya out of trouble and keep them out of jail and make it all appear like a glorious military victory for dubya and America.

Good luck Mr. Wolf, there's a lot of brains and blood in that back seat.

2. I've always related to and/or admired the Mr. Wolf character
I really hate seeing an analogy being drawn between this character and Baker (whom I don't relate to and/or admire), but I see your point.

3. Baker was originally a Democrat and sold his soul to Poppy on a
golf course. He was GHWB's golfing partner at the country club. Heard Baker talk about this in a recent interview on one of the Sunday magazine shows.
