Wolfie with Paws in the Honey Jar

From The Times

Paul Wolfowitz, the president of the World Bank, was fighting for his job today after he was forced to make a humiliating apology over ordering a pay rise and a promotion for a bank official, Shaha Riza, who is his girlfriend.

World Bank embarrassment over the disclosures was compounded as Mr Wolfowitz has come under heavy fire from governments and campaigners after pushing good governance and anti-corruption efforts in poor nations to the forefront of the agenda of the world’s most important development institution.

Mr Wolfowitz told reporters: “In hindsight, I wish I had trusted my original instincts and kept myself out of the negotiations.”

Well No Shit Sherlock. Just desserts I say. He was one of the kabal of schmucks making all the illegal arrangements and justifications for the war in Iraq. Then when things went pear shaped he was shipped off to tell poor countries how to privatise their economies, fight corruption and promote good government. Ha Ha. Neo Cons What a bunch of Cons.
