WH: ‘All options are on the table’ regarding Wolfowitz.

ABC reports:

In a significant shift that a White House official tells ABC’s Jonathan Karl that “all options are on the table” regarding World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz, and “it is an option question” whether he should remain as President of the World Bank.

This statement is the first time the White House has not expressed “full confidence in Paul Wolfowitz.”

UPDATE: The full report is out from ABC.

  2. Can-O-Whoop-Ass says:

    Didn’t the WH use the exact words for Iran??

    NUKE WOLF!!


  3. Crump's Brother says:

    Bomb’s away!!


  4. joe says:

    According to Mike Gravel, this means that they intend to launch nuclear strikes against him.

    Any chance they could wait until his visits Oklahoma?

    That’s right, OK, I’m calling you out!

    ;-)


  5. Squidbilly says:

    Why are they holding on to Wolfowitz. They should be throwing him into the “wolves” (he can be a leader of them!) since it appears inevitable he will have to be ousted, fired, retired, extended leave of absence, etc.

    Funny how this site never shows the polls when it is like this. Love the new congress, keep is up losers.

  7. RUCerious says:

    Would one of the options involve handing him over to the Hague for trial as a war criminal?


  8. Tom3 says:

    If the White House fucks with Wolfie, will Wolfie fuck with them?

    Or render him to a third-world country?


  10. Jay Randal says:

    Wolfowitz must be fired > PERIOD. Bush will have to learn to live with it and Cheney needs to shut-up.


  11. VerbalKint says:

    Or put him a special charter to Paraguay via Geneva and Riyadh?

    What is so funny is that the Democrats will destroy the GOP in 2008 despite such low numbers. What does that say about how much most Americans now despise the Republicans and the lickspittle lackeys who support Bush?


  13. mikeandjeffsmom says:

    Wolfie seems like an incredibly nasty man. I will be looking forward to seeing who he throws under the bus if he is forced out.


  14. Zep Tepi says:

    I am tiring of this ‘everything on the table’ line of reason.

    It’s ridiculous analogy -The asses attending are seated on seperate planes a full level below the table.


  15. DM says:

    #6 ~ I believe those poll numbers. They aren’t likely to get much higher until impeachment is back on the table.


  16. jimbo DUDE says:

    ALL OPTIONS ARE ON THE TABLE
    FOR FRIGGIN POLITICAL PARASITES FAMILY VALUES
    THAT IS TOTALLY CORRUPT FAMILY VALUES

    AND OF COURSE

    ALL OPTIONS ARE OFF THE TABLE

    REGARDING A CONGRESS THAT WILL BE THE MOST OPEN/HONEST
    TO SERVE THE PEOPLE, THE MOST ACCOUNTABLE CONGRESS EVER

    STRAIGHT FROM A SWINDLER…… A PRO AT BILLIONS IN EARMARKS

    AND THE HIGHEST HOUSE OF THE LAND + PELOSI

    CORRUPT I SAY

    TOTALLY CORRUPT

    LITERALLY A CESSPOOL OF COMPLETE TOTAL CORRUPTION

    LITERALLY A BUNCH OF POLITICAL MAGGOTS, LITERALLY HOODLUMS

  19. Zep Tepi says:

    Happy guy is posting half-truths:

    Approval ratings of Congress are higher among Democrats than Republicans, while Bush’s ratings are much higher among Republicans.


  20. Wolfy says:

    If the White House F*cks with Me, I’m Gonna F*ck with Them!!


  21. Zep Tepi says:

    The answer to your question is no m12, the Repubs still got a lower rating in congress than the Demos.


  22. jimbo DUDE says:

    #18

    of course DUDE… you know why? take a look at 5/11/2007
    http://www.corruptionchronicles.com under pelosi and see how she
    just earmarked a 25 million dollar contract which will financially
    benefit her husband.

    according to corruptionchronicles Pelosi has been a pro, literally
    a swindler of pork for many years involving many millions if not
    billions in earkmarks

    and that is the most open/accountable congress to serve the people?
    golly gee, no reform nor nothin 6 months later… i would refer to that
    literally as swindlers


  23. Fools on the Hill says:

    One good option is waterboarding.


  24. Mr. President says:

    Approval ratings of Congress are higher among Democrats than Republicans, while Bush’s ratings are much higher among Republicans.

    Comment by Zep Tepi — May 15, 2007 @ 1:16 pm

    Zep Tepi = wants to divide and conquer the USA.

    ZT = IslamoFascist


  25. Jay Randal says:

    Cheney will be upset when Wolfowitz falls, because Paul was supposed to rob the World Bank blind for Darth Dicky.


  26. lunacy says:

    Only option: Fire his ass.


  27. Juan C says:

    Please, somebody address Mr. Irrelevant.
    He is doing his best out there. Come on.


  28. Rosencrantz says:

    This is what the White House ALWAYS says when they know the real answer would piss everyone off. There are no options. This White House has made it very apparant that they do what they want and don’t feel the need to answer to anybody. Why should this be any different?

    Comment by jimbo DUDE

    Yo’ dude. The link you provided doesn’t discuss Pelosi. Wanna try again?


  30. Wayne says:

    WH: ‘All options are on the table’ regarding Wolfowitz.

    Too bad Pelosi can’t say the same thing about “Commander Guy” Bush and Darth Cheney. =P


  31. barfly says:

    Comment by Mr. President

    Anyone still using Islamofacist at this late date might as well hang a “I’m with Stupid” sign around their neck.


  32. Zep Tepi says:

    Zep Tepi = wants to divide and conquer the USA.
    ZT = IslamoFascist
    Comment by Mr. President —

    Huh. Because I pointed out in the link Happy Guy posted is a half-truth I am now Islamic? And a fascist to boot?

    Your funny Mr President.


  33. Evil Spaniard says:

    Mr. President=Can’t undestand the topic of the thread


  34. barfly says:

    Jimbo – From Judicial Watch:

    Republicans are accusing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of including a provision in a water redevelopment bill that could benefit property her husband owns in San Francisco.

    Aides to the San Francisco Democrat denied any connection, noting that the waterfront improvements were requested by the Port of San Francisco and the four rental properties in question are at least a mile away.

    Republicans, who raised the issue more than two weeks after the bill passed the House, offered no evidence of benefit to Paul Pelosi’s real estate holdings.

    Looks like a misfire, Jimbo.


  35. SKdeA says:

    Mr. President = Mr. Idiot.
    Just like in real life.


  36. Zep Tepi says:

    Zep Tepi = wants to divide and conquer the USA.

    Why would I want to do that when it’s being going on for a decade under this divisive administration for a 6 years? Rove wasn’t making powerpoints for Democrats ya know Pres.


  37. barfly says:

    Jimbo, this “a pox on both their houses” stuff would be more convincing if you didn’t make shit up.

    according to corruptionchronicles Pelosi has been a pro, literally
    a swindler of pork for many years involving many millions if not
    billions in earkmarks

    That’s not what the article said – did you only look at the header?


  38. SKdeA says:

    Jimbo, time for a chill pill… those of us who have lived in Pelosi’s districts for a long time have no problem with her. Don’t believe everything you read, dude.


  39. Pete Bogs says:

    they hung on as long as they could, I guess…


  40. Happy Guy says:

  42. Devil's Advocate says:

    Wolfowitz’s hanging on to his job reminds me of the typical wifebeater who keeps coming around promising not to do it any more if the wife takes him back.

  47. Fred says:

    We’ve made clear that we support Paul Wolfowitz,” White House spokesman Tony Snow told reporters.
    “Furthermore, he has said — and we agree — that certainly a lot of mistakes were made in the personnel process. But it’s not a firing offense,” he added.

    So, he never got a blow job?


  48. barfly says:

    “THAT IS WHAT MAKES ME SO HEAVENLY AWESOME DUDE, I’M
    ULTIMATE COOLNESS AND JUST HAPPEN TO BLOW EVERYONE
    AWAY AS A TOTALLY COOL DUDE.”

    Except for the bullshit about Pelosi. That was pure hackery, dude.
