When Worlds Collide: ''The Bane of Wolfowitz'' 
When Worlds Collide





Wolf sorry for favoritism...
Paul Wolfowitz, the president of the World Bank, has apologized for making a "mistake" over hefty pay rises given to a close female friend, (it's mistress dummy!) amid an uproar about alleged favoritism.  (4/13/2007)

Wolf hires lawyer in fight for his job...
The hanky-panky president of the World Bank has hired a prominent lawyer to help him fight to keep his job following a furor over his admission he approved generous pay increases for his girlfriend (whore).  (4/24/2007)

European MP's demand Wolf quit 'his' job...
Screams for the resignation of Wolfowitz from his presidency of the World Bank are really heating up with the European Parliament adding their heckling for him to stand down over allegations that he arranged a promotion and pay package for his girlfriend (give me a break!).   (4/26/2007)

Wolf thinks he's been treated badly...wah wah wah...
Wolfowitz has reportedly accused the board of the World Bank of treating him "shabbily and unfairly" as he fights to retain his job as the bank's president.  (Do I see crocodile tears?...No that's him licking his comb).   4/27/2007)

Wolf refuses to resign...
Wolfowitz, has repeated his refusal to step down...(because he knows what awaits him down there), while the US president has spoken out to back him.  (Really...are we surprised?)  Wolfie, a former deputy defence secretary, said the charges over his handling of a pay rise for his girlfriend (argh!) was a "smear campaign". He said he would not resign over "unfair charges".  (Smear campaign...as in Pap Smear?)   (4/30/2007)

Panel says Wolf broke the rules...
An investigative panel has found that the World Bank president broke bank rules in arranging a pay package and promotion for his girlfriend (skeezer!).  Wolfowitz will face the bank's 24-member board of directors before a decision is made on any disciplinary action, which may include him being asked to resign, sacked, fired, given the boot, lynched or reprimanded.  (I wonder what criteria it requires for someone to be able to realize that rules have been broken?...maybe a brain that works?)   (5/8/2007)

Wolf violated his contract...
Paulie's handling of his girlfriend's (stripper!) promotion violated the terms of his contract and constituted a conflict of interest, precipitating a "crisis in the leadership" at the World Bank, so said the panel...(de de de!).  It recommended that the bank's board consider whether its president could "provide the leadership needed" to fulfill the bank's mandate.  (If there were a 'mandate'...I'm sure this idiot should never have made it into his position...oops!...I forgot...the Dub placed him in that position.  No surprise there...since Dubbie has filled all his positions one way or another with complete and total incompetents.  Wolfie described the report as "unfair and unwarranted".  (Yeah...you wish!).   (5/13/2007)

Wolf pleads to keep his job...
Paul Wolfowitz, has implored the bank's board to let him keep his job, despite a recent scandal over favoritism, according to a hearing transcript released by his lawyer.  Wolfowitz told the board on that a loss of confidence in his leadership over his role in a pay upgrade for his girlfriend (gold-digger), would be "unfair".  (What planet does this guy come from?).  "I implore each of you to be fair in making your decision," Wolfowitz told executive directors who had gathered to hear his rebuttal of the allegations.  "Your decision will not only affect my life, it will affect how this institution is viewed in the United States and the world."  (slap!)  "You still have the opportunity to avoid long-term damage by resolving this matter in a fair and equitable way that recognizes that we all tried to do the right thing, however imperfectly we went about it," he said.  (Okay...he's on drugs or drinking heavily now!).  The controversy arose after it was revealed Wolfowitz had agreed a large pay deal for Shaha Riza, a World Bank Middle East expert and Wolf's companion (heh!), who was made to move to the US State Department when Wolfowitz took over at the bank.  "I have been caricatured as a 'boyfriend'...(would you rather be known as the headless horseman?) who used his position of power to help his 'girlfriend'," he said.  (I'm stymied to come up with something snarky at this point...maybe he should just drop his pants...let us all have a good laugh...and then move on!).   (5/16/2007)

Wolf resigns from World Bank...
Wolfowitz has said he will resign as World Bank president at the end of  June, (what happened to right now moron?) ending a protracted battle over his leadership sparked by a promotion he arranged for his girlfriend (pillow friend).  The bank's board said it accepted that Wolfowitz had acted "in good faith" and acknowledged that "a number of mistakes were made by a number of individuals".  (Gouging out eyes!)  "He assured us that he acted ethically and in good faith ... and we accept that," it said.  (You guys need to be flogged for making nice when you know you hate his guts!)  The board said it was "grateful to Mr. Wolfowitz for his service at the bank", adding that "much has been achieved in the last two years" - a move condemned by the bank's staff association.  (Go staff!...yeah...he achieved to set up his mistress...successfully I might add...but he happened to get his fingers caught in the cookie jar).  Wolfowitz, 63, said he was pleased the board "accepted my assurance that I acted ... in what I believed were the best interests of the institution, including protecting the rights of a valued staff member".  (Cough...bullshit!)  His departure was all but forced, though, by the finding of a special bank panel that he violated conflict-of-interest rules in his handling of the 2005 pay package of his girlfriend, bank employee Shaha Riza.  European members led by France, Germany and the Netherlands had said Wolfowitz should step down to salvage the bank's credibility.  (What credibility now?)  Wolfowitz said he acted on the advice of a board ethics committee and wanted it to acknowledge its own failures.  (Now, this is where the guy needs some serious therapy.  He wanted them to acknowledge their failures...well yes...they failed to kick his ass out the moment they found out his perfidy.  Where has all the honesty gone?...Long time passing!).  (5/17/2007)

Hey Wolfie, can I borrow your comb, but not that wet one?

Arrogant f*ck, trying to blackmail the World Bank for his resignation. Not enough circles in Hell. I hope the World Bank puts a requirement in the fine print that he can only collect his money out of an ATM in downtown Baghdad.

I wish I'd had the job of writing the World Banks's letter exonerating Wolfie of any ethical violations.

"We'd affirm that Wolfie is the most ethical official in World Bank history, but old-fashioned chivalry demands we give that honor to his mistress...."
