Wolfowitz refusing to resign from World Bank after giving lover cushy job and raise

ABC News is reporting in breaking news that "PAUL WOLFOWITZ WILL NOT RESIGN 'UNDER THIS CLOUD' AND WOULD RATHER PUSH THE ISSUE OF HIS TENURE TO A VOTE BY THE WORLD BANK BOARD, HIS LAWYER SAYS." (No link, there's no story up yet.) Here's the link.

Dear World Bank, welcome to our world. Bushies who have screwed up, who have you screwed YOU, don't quit until you give them a medal. It's time for the rest of the world to show the US who's boss. Bushies don't negotiate with you, they won't leave without a fight - so give him one. I'd start by taking away his furniture. Though what the Germans just did - telling him he's not welcome in their country - was a hell of a first step. I think he's positioning for a massive monetary settlement. The World Bank had better not give it to him. We don't reward incompetence. Well, WE do here in Republican America, but the World Bank is supposed to set the standard for competence and ethics. Start uninviting Wolfie to every event and every meeting in existence. And like I said, start removing his furniture.

What a total embarrassment. Though the fact of George Bush defending a guy who gave his unmarried sex partner* a cushy job at the people's expense is priceless.

(* "Sex partner" is a phrase the religious right likes to use for committed gay couples, so what's good for the goose...)
