And, yes, I DO take it personally

Wolfie is a spoiled, tantrum-throwing child who should just STFU and LEAVE, already

reading this makes it really hard to keep food down...

wolfie...

  • disparaged a bank panel probing his handling of a pay raise for his girlfriend
  • accus[ed] investigators of poisoning the atmosphere with leaks
  • depriv[ed] him of sufficient time to respond to accusations
his attorney...
  • the inability of the committee to control leaks about its draft conclusions is very harmful
  • prejudging the outcome of the process
  • disrespects both the board and the process
  • the response time was too brief
  • "This is terribly unfair"
  • "We are extremely disheartened."
imho, wolfie takes criticism very poorly... it would be a lot more honest of him to simply lie on the floor, pounding his fists and crying for mommy...

meanwhile, the world community isn't being shy about expressing their thoughts...

  • European finance ministers meeting in Brussels called for an end to the leadership crisis
  • "We need a president with a good reputation and good integrity"
  • "It is impossible to go around the world speaking about good governance without good governance at the World Bank"
  • "If it persists, it makes the World Bank an embarrassment"
  • The European parliament has called for Wolfowitz to resign
and the white house continues to huff and puff...
  • "We believe Wolfowitz should remain at the World Bank"
  • [I]f Wolfowitz is forced out at the bank, Europe could lose its rights to name the leader at the [IMF]
meanwhile, nobody gives any background about WHY wolfie was put there in the first place, like maybe to use world bank leverage to secure iraq's oil resources...? hmmmm...?
