Good riddance, Wolforatz
We will surely miss you. (Not.)
Whirled Bank President Paul Wolforatz will resign at the end of June.
First, however, he got the Whirled Bank to concede that he acted “ethically and in good faith.”
Isn’t that sweet?
We can understand his need for approval. QRS says Wolfie is so hygienically challenged that despite his $391,000 salary, he had torn socks when he entered the Selimiye Mosque (Turkey) in late January 2007.
After the visit, Wolfie tried to buy two necklaces for his daughters in the shopping area next to the mosque, but he didn’t have enough money, so he had to borrow it from his security detail. (Did he charge them interest for his use of their money?)
In the Michael Moore film Fahrenheit 9/11, Wolfie is seen to spit on his comb before running it through his hair ahead of a television appearance.(Did he urinate on his toothbrush as well?)
His Excellency (W. Bush, the Fart-King) said he would blurt out a replacement soon.
The United States is the Whirled Bank’s largest shareholder and its biggest financial contributor of funny money. The 185-nation Bank, created in 1945 to rebuild Europe after World War II, provides more than $20 billion a year in funny money for projects such as building dams and roads, bolstering education and fighting disease. In this way it spreads the holy gospel of debt, debt, and more debt.
The bank’s centerpiece program offers interest-free loans to the poorest countries. In return, the countries are forced to sell all their national assets to transnational corporations, which immediately lay off three fourths of workers. Then they triple prices and ship all goods out of the country, collecting all the profits.
If they don’t get you with direct interest rates, they get you through inflation and private ownership.
P.S. I'd hate to see Wolfie's underwear.

Funny Money ! This is freakin' hilarious !
When does Wolforatz finally get to go to jail ?
Will they let him urinate on his holy socks, too ?
lol that's some nasty sh¤t, but a great post nonetheless, a.z.
...he got the Whirled Bank to concede that he acted “ethically and in good faith.”
I believe the statement may be pretty close to the truth. If you compare with his role in destroying Indonesia during the "financial crisis" when he was the US ambassador in Jakarta and his role in designing the illegal aggression on Iraq (which according to him would pay for itself with stolen oil) this is pretty honest stuff.
It is of course a paradox that he was felled on petty stuff, when his comrades in crime get away with so much more, but one day you run out of luck, just like Al Capone.
When it comes to the holes in his socks, by bet is that this abominable chap borrowed some underling's holed socks in order to insult the Muslim community. That is the way this breed of vipers act.
I shall not speculate about his motivation for choosing a Muslim girlfriend.

"For a time, Paul Wolfowitz was wearing the blue ribbon that World Bank employees were wearing to signify that they wanted Wolfowitz removed. Someone had apparently told him that the ribbon was part of an anti-malaria campaign. This is the World Bank equivalent of taping a sign to his back saying ‘kick me’!"
Hehehe.
In a bold move to undermine the international terror network, President Bush today named Paul Wolfowitz to be the new president of Al Qaeda.
Bush indicated that Wolfowitz’s role in planning the war in Iraq and bringing scandal to the World Bank showed he was “just the man” to bring chaos and disorder to Al Qaeda.
“I’ve seen Paul Wolfowitz in action,” Bush said. “If anyone can mess up Al Qaeda, it’s this guy.”
Several key details in the president’s plan still need to be worked out, such as how Wolfowitz will infiltrate Al Qaeda and rise to the top position in its ranks.
“Al Qaeda is not like the Defense Department or the World Bank,” said Hassan El-Medfaii, head of Al Qaeda’s human resources department. “We actually screen our top officers.”
It remains to be seen whether Wolfowitz will be happy at Al Qaeda.
“Al Qaeda is different the World Bank,” said Professor Davis Logsdon, chairman of the Wolfowitz Studies Department at the University of Minnesota. “For one thing, it’s much harder to meet girls there.”
