The only thing surprising about the Wolfowitz scandal is that the comb-licking guy actually has, or had, a girlfriend. And, no, the object of Wolfowitz's leer in the photo here is not his girlfriend, Shaha Ali Riza, rather the object of Wolfowitz's leer is Fred Thompson's wife.
After Wolfowitz was caught drooling over Fred Thompson's wife, his alleged girlfriend may well have come to her senses.
So Wolfowitz has finally resigned from the World Bank, effective June 30, reportedly as the first president to ever leave the World Bank "under a cloud of scandal."
You won't be surprised to hear that loyal Bushies think Wolfowitz has been ousted not because of ethics violations but rather as payback for the Iraq War. The Wall Street Journal claims the charges against Wolfowitz are "bogus."
But some 13,000 World Bank staffers are happy to see the comb-licking man go. According to the World Bank Group Staff Association: "[Wolfowitz] has demeaned the Bank, insulted the staff, diminished its clients, and dragged this institution through the mud."
In keeping with the flat-earth Heritage Foundation's advice to Bushie, the list of possible replacements are qualified to fill the position because they are loyal Bushies.
So, of course, Bill Frist, failed Senate Majority Leader, is on the list, as is Bush poodle Tony Blair. But since it is an American tradition that World Bank presidents can only be Americans, Tony Blair will undoubtedly be crossed off the list. Despite a plethora of neocon scandals, indictments, and corruption, Bush continues to have no shortage of incompetent American poodles to choose from.
While we loath the idea of inflicting the Frist Disease upon the World Bank, if it means the cat-killer will abandon his plans to become the Governor of Tennessee, we say, take him, please!
