I hope not. He is brilliant and decent. This women was at State for a short time and is now off the federal payroll. If we chuck such excellent people at the first failing we will continue to be stuck with dummies.(You do understand the bureaucracy there—corrupt and overpaid—was looking for anything to flay him with.)
Look what Kofi got away with and no one called for his removal. Horse of a different color? I certainly believe so. Anyone with a Bush connection is a target.
It’s hard to believe that Wolfowitz, of all people, didn’t understand that coughing up payola on the Q.T. for one’s girlfriends is what filthy rich cronies are for...
The minute I see keywords “good governance” and “struggle,” my leftar kicks into gear.
The good works have to flow, so Paul has to go. Thus speak the Fabians.
Nothing has got on my goat more in the last couple of weeks than this revalation. Wolfowitz’s cruscade against corruption and nepotism at state level, and tieing international aid to meeting those standards was the most far sighted, brave policy an international institution has tried. I believe that had the World Bank held to that path it may, for once, actually have done good.
However, this behaviour which stinks of corruption/nepotism at the top shatters the credibility of the policy to those who are being preached to. This is a catastrophic error of judgement by Paul. The worst thing he can do now is linger - he needs to go now to get the vultures off him, they need to appoint someone quickly with the same philospohy but the ability to eat their own dog-food.
the World Bank participates in
Gore’s carbon-offset scam.
I have no sympathy for this crook.
He might be a corrupt crook, but he’s OUR corrupt crook.
The thought of Wolfowitz having an extramarital affair with an ARAB makes me sick!! And paying her all that money.....Disgusting!
BUMP
