Wolfowitz’s top aide resigns.
Kevin Kellems, a key Wolfowitz aide at the World Bank who served previously as an adviser at the Pentagon in the run-up to the war and as Dick Cheney’s communications director, told Reuters he was “leaving for other opportunities.” “Given the current environment surrounding the leadership of the World Bank Group, it is very difficult to be effective in helping to advance the mission of the institution,” Kellems said.

Particularly when sunlight is pumped up your ass & everyone else can see what the ‘true’ agenda is behind Wolfowitless’s plan.
Let’s hope Wolfowitless practices abstinence with his job, too.
May 7th, 2007 at 11:48 amGood, bring these scumbags to justice. Wolfowitz is one of the signatures on PNAC’s “Rebuilding Americas Defenses” and probably added the “new Pearl Harbor” part of the manifest.

It is about time that this bunch of lying, thieving, and
May 7th, 2007 at 12:24 pmcorrupt group meets it’s just end. A thank you to the good lord for small favors received.
Whilst I think this gets the new week off to a wonderful start, I have to wonder what sort of useless, corrupt, incompetent book-licking fraud Wolfie will just promote into the position?
Monica Goodling? Jeff Gannon? Brownie!

May 7th, 2007 at 1:09 pmSo, what is the real reason he’s leaving?
Did he get caught doing something wrong or inappropriate?
Hmm.
May 7th, 2007 at 1:35 pmMaybe Wolfie can be W’s new War Czar after he’s drummed out of the World Bank, with Kellems as his deputy!
