Republican values: Possession is ten tenths of the law.

They are the ones with their hands on the reins of power, not us. Simple as that.

That will not change, except violently. Electing a Democrat is equivalent to painting over the rotted wood, when demo to foundation is required.

To Wolfowitz:

You have been handed your cup of hemlock. Now drink it, damn you!

It sounds to me as if he is threatening that he and Shaha don’t want to engage in group sex–or at least not with members of the World Bank.

A classic NeoCon response by Wolfie. Not only is he guilty of treason against the US, he also demonstrates his lack of understanding and respect for the world community at large.

Are you sure that this was Paul Wolfowitz who said this?

It sounds more like Joan Crawford addressing the board members of PepsiCo.

Hey, he’s just using the same language that Deadeye Dick used on Patrick Leahy on the Senate floor. So, do W and the christofascists still want to hold him up as a positive example for their children to follow?

The Sand-box Two. Sounds like that old song, (sliightly redone): It’s my bank and I’ll trash it if I want to… You would too, if it happened to you…

Pretty Paraguay breathlessly awaits the arrival of all of the members of the Bush crime family, Wolfy too. There will be a “whole lot of brush-cuttin’ goin’ on…”

â€œIf they f*ck with me or Shaha, I have enough on them to f*ck them too.â€ â€” World Bank President Paul Wolfowitzâ€™s comments according to a new special bank panel report, which concluded that Wolfowitzâ€™s actions have â€œhad a dramatic negative effect on the reputation and credibilityâ€ of the bank

-Affirmative action: it’s not for minorities anymore!

#61 We are nobodies, but he’s a world class official. If he can’t stand the heat, he must get out of the kitchen, ASAP! Letting appart the little fact that he has violated the rules of the WB, common sense ethics, the confidence of the countries that form the WB, and specially, the confidence of the countries that MUST return their credits.

Under what authority will you say to the later ones that they must follow the rules, don’t bribe, don’t steal, and return the interests? You know that the USA has invested a lot of money in the WB?

You’re so party blind that you can’t see that this is very harmful for your own country, ethics aside.

I blame bloggers. Clearly Paul Wolfowitz’ obscene use of the “F word” was preceded by years of vituperative bloggers.

Does this mean that if he isnâ€™t removed by the board that heâ€™s not going to remove the corruption he pledged to fight?

Very good question DM!

some excerpts:

‘Sounding more like a cast member of the Sopranos than an international leader’

‘The report slates Mr Wolfowitz for his “questionable judgment and a preoccupation with self-interest”, saying: “Mr Wolfowitz saw himself as the outsider to whom the established rules and standards did not apply.” ‘

‘The angry comments attributed to Mr Wolfowitz came from damning testimony by Xavier Coll, head of human resources at the bank’

‘According to Mr Coll’s notes: “At the end of the conversation Mr Wolfowitz became increasingly agitated and said that he was ‘tired of people … attacking him’ and ‘you should get your friends to stop it’. Mr Wolfowitz said, ‘If they f*ck me or Shaha, I have enough on them to f*ck them too’,” naming several senior bank staff he felt were vulnerable.’

Wonderful language from some one with such wonderful sense of morality. Finally his true colors are being exposed.

So, if Mr. Wolfowitz has all of this dirt on corrupt World Bank execs, and his number one priority is fighting corruption at the World Bank, shouldn’t he already be, well, f*cking them?

This administration has put out some weak, weak talking points before, but this is really scraping the bottom of the barrel. “If you force me to be accountable for my secret wrongdoing, I’ll force YOU to be accountable for YOUR secret wrongdoing.” Wow.
