It seems that the scandals or moral problems just keep on coming. The Bush Presidency has more stains than the old tie of a slob. The most recent stain is the result of Paul Wolfowitz, the president of the World Bank. He holds a position that all the countries of the world look at. He represents the United States of America and the administration of President George W. Bush. Paul is also known for the Wolfowitz Doctrine.
Today, 24 executive directors will meet. They cleared out their weekly agenda to discuss what action to take over a pay and favoritism scandal that has engulfed the former Pentagon deputy chief. His crime? "In 2005, he personally ordered a hefty pay package worth nearly 200,000 dollars and guaranteed promotions for his girlfriend at the bank, Shaha Riza." The raise was about $50,000. Footnote: Bush is opposed to the minimum wage increase.
Our allies are encouraging him to resign. However, much like Alberto Gonzales, we have another Bush appointee that has no shame. He will continue because he is backed by the most powerful man in the world. His scandal is just another Bush stain.
It's time for a new tie.

1. John,
His crime is alot bigger than $50 K..
After the fall of the USSR, just as I wrote emphatically on a post yesterday, all these nice
people "created" a new enemy to suit thier purposes in the 1990's and beyond.
They wanted to build up the military budget..and they did..congradulations..
Now, they take it a step further, and say, we will do everything unilaterally, and pre-emptively. Before we have a big problem lets deal with smaller ones. Ok?
The problem is they are destroying the very volunteer force they need to carry out thier
fantastical "doctrines".
Now, we are to believe, if one listens to Bush at all, that every and all "insurgent ants" will be able to follow the crumbs from the MRE packets, all the way back home, and we will have a line of pesky ants, forever. No way to stop them by any other means.
So, there you have it. Simple, straitforward and wrong. We cannot lead the world this way.
I think it has been established that Bush Jr. cannot "unbelieve" anything. He has not the capacity for critical thought. I'm sorry, it is true.
So, in my opinion, anyone who still buys this continuous line of utter bullshit needs to see a counselor. They are also self-deluded.
Someone should have had the intellect and internal fortitude to pre-empt Wolfi before He pre-empted all of us..
The real "Wolfi doctrine"
Put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye!!
Another Noecon bastard bites the depleted-uranium dust.......

2. wolfowitz is just another lying little bastard that needs to be locked away.

3. If Wolfowitz does not have the decency to resign, he should be fired. More evidence that Bush is no judge of character...or is he?

4. If he gave all that money to his girlfriend, he must think the world bank is his own money. Is this the kind of appointee we have from the Bush/Cheney administration?

5. Mr. Wolfowitz is, for all intents and purposes, an extremely dishonest person. Did he "dip" his hand into the till? No, but he did open the drawer and look the other way while another did.wolfowitz
I have been a supporter of President Bush and his father, but this is another incident that is cutting deep. By our president's silence he gives a tactit approval of Mr. Wolfowitz's actions.
Come on, Mr. President. Step up to the plate and give these people a little Hell! That is the very least you can do.

6. IMHO, ol' Wolfie likes to live his name, just any way he is allowed. I think this is a strong "native" trait, to put it in an astrologer's terms for this one moment. (He has little light at best; he is little like well-evolved.)
So here's another of a huge basket of 600+ living Bonesmen (all of whom appear to call upon the dead ones for help when in need) and sooo many in the ranks of their toad-eating sycophants to lawfully take alive, try fairly, and condemn both lawfully and roundly. Then it's down, down, down the Big Deep De-Elevator, 13 stories deep, straight down the Big Deep Hole to the Special Cell Block. They are told, "You are going to the No-Lock Block."
Now understand this: The electrodes on the wall at the end of the hall down the length of that 24/7 dim-lit constant-climate block are not at all for the frying off of any human life, no, never! Once the convicted one is non-violently though (if needs be) /robustly/ given to enter the duly assigned secure comprehensive functionally integrated personal quarters (complete with built-in shower) and the unit door thuds shut (not slams; we do not break human brains with any such thing even approaching any manner of torture, as is done by these savages), the arc-welded bead that goes on next just makes certain that Sheep's-Clothing Wolfie and his ilk never, never emerge to plague us and our children ever, ever again.
No disrespect, but no commissary. Plain food and clean water: it's what's for dinner. Salad and entree. Also veggies varied with the seasons. A non-sweetened Vitamin C tablet once a day. (Swallow, don't chew.) But no dessert. These bad boyz do not get dessert.
All such as these so incarcerated can readily be kept harmless, minimally though adequately provided for with no fetters nor chains in sight - only one American-made and very sturdy forged steel ringbolt set irremovably in the floor within sight of the bed-pallet, nothing more than that.
But 57 channels of entertainment fare and banal FOX/CNN chatter with no real news coverage at all. Nor Jay Leno nor Stephen Colbert et al.
Why? Because we are kind. We are not savages, like some. Spare 'em the barbs of comick torment. (We can laugh in private, too, and not at them in person while on duty on the block.)
And just let 'em put up with the manifold manifest ironies of being irretrievably physicaly welded into that fine American steel cage. Nnothing left in this world for comfort but for a comfy chair, a soft pillow, an adequate mattress, no visitors at all nor any further opportunity for the getting of any manner of exoneration, though of course all are cordially welcome to compose any appeal desired on the manual typewriter available through the bars under strict adult supervision.
They are lawyers. Let 'em work their briefs up from sheer memory. One typewritten sheet at a time. Sign up for the typewriter every other Tuesday. (Cheeseburgers for dinner on those Tuesdays.)
If any of 'em can get out legally by legal means for such as are in that unfortunate position of post-conviction incarceration, well, Kind Holy Creator and all Holy Heaven just love 'em.
But decent meals. NEVER any brutality. (No menu choices, though.) Genuine Christlike Golden Rule Old School Quaker-grade Hospitality of Heaven, with non-brutal and genuine (FrigidaireŽ-sized!) Corrections Officers to genuinely provide genuine wise council in time of physical crisis, should any such arise amid the festering mass of pustular psychopaths lawfully preserved in utter safety and peace for exactly ALL of us, THEM TOO, in that regrettable though lawful and necessary snakepit for the permanent safekeeping of these Spirit-less, soul-eaten counterfeits of any genuine huiman standing in this world.
As they die off, the crew cuts the bars out and removes them with the corpse. The corpse goes into the quicklime pit topside encased coffin-like in those bars, re-cut and folded up for the purpose. Replacements installed below as necessary, of course.
Very photogenic. Worth paying for. Orientation Lecture goes like this: "Welcome to the No-Lock Block of our Very Normal Prison House of Human Penitence! For you, Mister 666419323 SIRRAH, your entire phony-for-profit TerrorWar scam operation is OVER. Now step in; this is now yours."
And That "S" Word is not uttered again. Once is enough.
A quiet, safe, peaceable, well-ordered and well-welded Special Facility for these Most Exceptional of All Exceptional People, to whom We the Normal People of This World do indeed take *GREAT* exception, to live out the remainder of their days in utterly secure leisure, free to sort it all out at last.
Hospitality. Pure and simple, just like these sicko psycho elitespawn turdblossom boyz really all maybe even actually needed from ther beginning, sad to think it.
They have all earned such robust hospitality as this sketched herein in my own humble estimate. Let the subpoenas roll forth, and the prosecutions begin! Hospitable, inviting International Criminal Subpoenas, we need. Suitably adapted to Another One of /Those./ Delivered by blue-helmeted UN Peacekeepoing Officers.
All the way to Texas, even. Crawford, to be exact. Also to that fine gated-off New Jersey suburb /cum/ fortress, wherein is found residing a Cheney fella' and his bagholding lady-partner in the ongoing global-grade crime, "Miz Lynne".
And ALL THE WAY on down the line. You get the picture.
Increase the peace. REJECT All TERROR.

7. Hey Turtle,
I assume you are referring to the secret-society Skull-and-bones homosexual, woman-hating troglodites of which the Bushes, Wolfi, and all the New World Order fuckheads were mixed in the petri dish, to grow into the filth they are now...
Your wandering, yet sensible hyperbile of:
"Let the subpoenas roll forth to the
sicko psycho elite spawn turdblossom boyz and bagholding lady-partner in the ongoing global-grade crime, "Miz Lynne".
Prison is too good for this crowd. They make the Aryan Brotherhood look like kindergarteners.
Plus, Wolfi would probably like being someone's
BDSM boy bitch, the sick, sadistic bastard.

Whatever, he is a reprobate and war-mongering degenerate of the lowest degree...
I am sure that Cornell is very proud of his murderous accomplishments.

9. THE WHOLE BUSH ADMINISTRATION AND FAMILY IS CURRUPT! FROM BRINGING DRUGS INTO OUR COUNTRY, HOMOSEXUAL ACTS IN THE WHITE HOUSE, AND SETTING UP 9/11. THEY HAVE PROFITED SO MUCH OFF THE WTC ATTACKS UNDER WHICH GEORGE BUSH'S YOUNGER BRITHER MARVIN BUSH WAS A PRINCIPLE IN SECURACOM, WHICH PROVIDED SECURITTY FOR THE WTC,UNITED AIRLINES, AND DULLES AIRPORT

11. Wolfowitz, BEFORE going to the World Bank, informed the Ethics Committee, not once, but twice, that he would not be a part of any personnel actions concerning Shaha Riza, specifically because of his personal relationship with her. The Ethics Committee directed Mr. Wolfowitz to sign off on the personnel action, however, the actual negotiations were between the Personnel Department and Ms. Riza. The Ethics Committe SIGNED OFF on these actions. Will Mr. Wolfowitz lose his job because of the political dubris, who knows. With the cut throat antics of the political world, it's a shocking ANYBODY would even CONSIDER a government job. No wonder the candidates are multi-millionaires, nobody else could survive it without going to the poor house, not to mention their reputations wrecked for no good reason.

12. I know I am in the minority here, but from what I know of Wolfowitz, he is one of the Clinton-era idealists who, through time, lost his way.
