Wolfowitz Update
Here’s the latest from CNN:
Embattled World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz and the White House were in talks Wednesday afternoon with World Bank officials to work out details of his resignation, senior administration officials told CNN.
Under a proposed agreement, Wolfowitz would leave voluntarily but the World Bank would admit some culpability in the handling of his girlfriend’s transfer to a State Department job, along with a hefty pay increase.
Administration officials told CNN that they expect Wolfowitz to leave “soon,” if not today.
More to come. Stay tuned.

The average person would just be fired for such an incident. The Wolfie Spin Machine wants to make the sows ear something other than a pigs ear.
Wolfie has been unfairly maligned by a vicious smear because he sought to fight global poverty and corruption. The whole world has it out for George W Bush and his appointees, don’t you know that by now, Rudi? They barely allowed him any time to present his case- they have bulldozed his civil rights. What is this the fourth week of this circus? Most people would have had the grace to resign, when they realize that they are hurting the organization they are trying to run. But Wolfie- he has to make an Ugly American spectacle of himself, and remind the Europeans how arrogant we are on this side of the pond!
