I liked how the bank wouldn’t let his attorney speak for him, hahahaha….. He was trying to again bully his way around a situation, is that why the bank’s people loathe him, yeah maybe.

I’ll call it Payola or how about Hush money or just old fashioned theft? And what’s with Shaha’s salary being tax-free? How can we get these jobs?

All Bank and Fund employees get paid tax free. I was a contractor at IMF and we all were trying to get hire as “permanent members” so we could get paid tax free, amongst other perks.

I find this man and anything he does despicable.

The World Bank is no justice-seeking force itself, but if its board allows itself to be bullied by the likes of this common pond scum, then they deserve what they get.

It’s all about living off others, isn’t it? It just must be the greatest source of hilarity for all these scuzebags to know that the American taxpayers in one form or another are paying for these assholes to ‘live.’ Security detail indeed.

Let’s not discount another possibility realted to the 400K – severance. Under many CEO-level contracts, a CEO can be terminated “with cause” for engagimng in “conflict of interest” or similar behaviour. It may be as simple as Wolfowitz gets his severance if he resigns without the conflict charges becoming “official.”

At this stage, he may understand the gig is up, but he’s furiously trying to protect his 400K and severance.

Something to consider…

PeterK @ 79 – so you’re saying Gonzo is Bush’s condom ?

I guess–but I don’t quite know who would be wearing him (it) (took a while to answer this one…)

Oversight Committee hearing:
Kenneth Waistein, Ass’t Attn General just say
paraphrasing
I can’t tell you because it would tip off our advisaries to what we are doing.
I swear, that’s what I heard him say.

expect that a lot more often as Bush’s Pandora’s Box gets jacked open…

Watch out for SOMETHING soon, and don’t be surprised if Iran takes the blame, the White House house of cards is falling down all around them, and they grow more desperate with every new scandal.

Whatever form it takes, they no doubt already have all the new cards dealt to all the old players, just waiting for that refreshing disaster to make us all fearful and compliant once again.

If there’s a sex scandal among the Regency crowd- it’ll be strange—involving holy water, hymnals, and statutes of the saints.

Holy hymen, batman.

If you ask me, Shaha earned every cent. There’s NO WAY I would do what she apparently did to get that promotion.
Okay, now I’m gonna be sick.

My thoughts exactly. ewwwwww
