.....After days of negotiations, Wolfowitz got what he wanted — an acknowledgment from the bank's board that he did not bear sole responsibility for the conflict-of-interest furor surrounding his handling of the pay package.

"He assured us that he acted ethically and in good faith in what he believed were the best interests of the institution, and we accept that," the board said in its announcement of Wolfowitz's resignation.

The bank board said it was clear that a number of people had erred in reviewing Riza's pay package. The board's statement made no mention of any financial arrangements related to Wolfowitz's departure, nor did it speak to Riza's future.

For his part, Wolfowitz said he was pleased that the board "accepted my assurance that I acted ethically and in good faith in what I believed were the best interests of the institution, including protecting the rights of a valued staff member."

Now, he said, it was in the best interest of the board that its mission "be carried forward under new leadership."

4. It's a plastic award for Wolfie.

It may look good sitting on the mantle, but the housekeeper knows its just plastic every time she dusts it. The whole world knows he's boinking some HO and twisted arms to get her in a cushy position, then got caught with his pants down.

The official story can state whatever they want it to state, but everyone really knows what a true piece of shit this man is.

I want to know what the woman is doing today. Is she still working? Still collecting the huge salary? I think her position should be looked into, it sure sounds to me like she isn't qualified for the job. She is being paid by the American taxpayers, is she not?

Fire the concubine, get someone capable for a change.

6. Sandra Day O'Connor--for sure, not exactly

a good person in everybody's book--seems to think she's fairly qualified.

She was hired by the WB years before Wolfowitz signed on with the Pentagon. She was promoted in the WB faster than usual, even though she pissed off some of the sexists working there. You see, contra many men, she believes that women should have equal rights and enjoy economic and political empowerment equal to that of men, in a liberal democracy. This, of course, pisses off the male supremacists--who, of course, call her a 'ho'--in the Middle East.

Oxford educated, fluent in a few Middle Eastern languages (more than the ever praised Sybil Edmonds). When Wolfowitz went to the WB she was on a promotion list. Her superiors obviously "looked into" her qualifications and decided they were good. (Now, of course, she's cloutless: a Muslim whore that puts out for inferior Jews ... she's probably got death threats, and hate mail that even makes your sexist, hateful tirade seem like praise). Wolfowitz recused himself, was denied the opportunity, and was told to get her a job elsewhere with a salary increase and promotion--how much, the ethics committee didn't stipulate and didn't check back about (even though they knew fairly quickly ... jealousy works wonders).

So she's still working. Competently, no doubt, even if the 1000 other WB employees at her salary level (yep, 997, IIRC) resent it.

Let's see ... that answers all your points except your utter and heinous misogyny. Remember: Good, sexist hate, calling women you don't know "c**ts" and "hos" just because you don't like their bedpartners or they make you feel dickless ... fantastic freeper progressive value. Keep it up. Maybe spread out, do some gay bashing or burn a cross. You could even build on your strengths ... beat up a lesbian or two.
