And the tragic part is you KNOW that kind of money wasn't nearly enough for Wolfy and his gal... 200 thou a year is like beggar's change in the circles they try to fly in.
If we could find a way to convince the rich that they have enough money, you wouldn't believe the sort of changes that'd start taking place on this planet.

Hey Brad thanks for the hat tip!
Funny thing is I haven't heard any thing about this on the t.v., only the internet, but then again I don't watch that much.

Brad asks "does this nightmare ever end" ...
And especially since they already have the record as the most corrupt and dictatorial regime in our nation's history.
But let me leak an even greater shocker: when the truth finally comes out we find out that all of this is only the tip of the iceberg.
As more and more and more and more and more, and yes, even more, think something very great is amiss.
Hey ... one must admit that there is evidence to support all those neoCons who have already morphed into neoConvicts.
The answer to your question is that, like all nightmares, we must wake up in order to end it.

Paul "All Wolf No Wits" Wolfowitz helped get us into Iraq the same way he got the World Bank into a corruption scandal.
To these folks "ethics" is what other people do.
The neoCon infestation wants to know no bounds.

But seriously, compare his judgement here, and then realize he was one of THE architects of the Iraq War.

Say what you will but Wolfowitz was actually trying to clean up the World Bank, itself is a behemoth shakedown operation. I have a friend who worked there and witnessed first hand the outrageous cost of the projects the Bank, working hand-in-hand with major corporations, foist upon poor third world countries. Meanwhile, US and other developed nation taxpayers get to back the loans.
Wolfowitz' efforts to curb corruption earned him the enmity of the major players who dine on the backs of poverty-stricken peasants who have to pay back the costs of often unneeded and overpriced projects. I wouldn't be surprised if the Maurice Strong(a global string puller, if there ever was one) network is ginning this up to force Wolfowitz out so they can get back to businees as usual.
Forget Wolfowitz' "neocon" credentials and look deeper.

"..sorry, but I just finished laughing so hard, blood started spurting out my nose."
Why? Other than this, have you heard of any other allegations of actual corruption against Wolfowitz?

"That's our taxpayer money he's giving his girlfriend. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!!! "
No it isn't, the Bank is privately run. To my knowledge, the only time U.S. taxpayers kick in is if someone defaults on a loan. Pretty sweet system they have there, eh? Taxpayers take all the risk and Maurice Strong and his pals get all the rewards. Wolfowitz was actually trying to put a stop to this and apparently got caught up in his own petty scandal, a pittance compared to the monetary atrocities the World Bank commits every day. If you want to cry for the taxpayers, cry for the poor thrid world taxpayers who pay for the scam projects the World Bank enriches itself on.

If the World Bank is rotten, do you think "rotten" Paul Wolfowicz should be the guy to clean it up? You're acting like Wolfowicz didn't architect a "war of lies", as part of his resume. And who was he appointed by, to the World Bank. Bush! Right? And we all know Bush appoints people on the "up and up".
The World Bank IS corrupt. Didn't Hugo Chavez kick them out of the entire South America? And point to them as the reason for the financial instability of many South American countries?
But, saying Wolfowicz will fight corruption, is like saying Bush and Cheney will fight corruption! Wolfowicz is one of THE original Bushco neo-con criminals! One of the BIGGEST! Didn't you ever read anything about him?
