Wolfowitz attempts damage control.
A day after resigning as World Bank President, Paul Wolfowitz said “his biggest task before leaving on June 30 was to meet with staff.” An anonymous employee responded: “Please just leave. You can take all your loyal employees with you. Who are you kidding?”

Wolfie’s a dead man…
May 18th, 2007 at 5:08 pmLMAO!!! Meet with the very staff that ran out into the halls cheering when he resigned?! What a fricking idiot. Just leave already!!! What face do you have left anyway???
What a joke this administration and government has become!!
May 18th, 2007 at 5:12 pmHe should have resigned months ago. The staff would still have been filled with joy, but he could have had an ounce of dignity. But, he’s a neocon asshole Bush worshipper, so naturally he had to be a petulant, angry prick about the whole thing.
May 18th, 2007 at 5:14 pmThis is like beating a dead horse

May 18th, 2007 at 5:15 pmhere’s a wolfie epitaph…
and i REALLY wish someone with some investigative reporter talent would follow up on this…
WHY was he pushing this…? i can only conclude that, as at least one commenter has pointed out, world bank loans to iraq would be focused on rehabilitating its oil industry infrastructure, thus allowing the global oil giants to avoid paying for it themselves, and then, with loan terms written to require payback from oil revenues (part of the reason ecuador recently kicked out its world bank rep and negated its loan agreement), iraq would be totally in western hands, assuming of course the oil law eventually passed…
And, yes, I DO take it personally

Ingrates.
Pedophile.
May 18th, 2007 at 5:15 pm“Regardless of the emotions that most of us are probably feeling right now, I believe we must move forward in a spirit of forgiveness, both for the sake of each of us as individuals and for the sake of the bank group’s mission to serve the world’s poor,” Wolfowitz said in the letter.
He wants them to forgive him? Good luck.
BTW, If I did what Wolfy did, I would be in trouble for sexual harassment. Giving raises and bonuses to your girlfriend creates a hostile atmosphere and it is covered by sexual harassment.

Good luck with that. They should hold a blanket party for him the night before he leaves.
May 18th, 2007 at 5:17 pmI see the pervert troll is back.
MAF54 is the nickname of Mark Foley.
Troll likes to hump underage boys.

and anonymous employee responded….blah, blah, blah…
You know, I used “anonymous” sources all the time when speaking to the media. I always changed my voices when I called the idiots over at CNN or MSNBC and they always thought I was someone else.
this anonymous sources thing that the left wing media loves to use is great, it allowed me to manipulate the news as I want the american people to hear them and read them.
I love TP, a site out of my own heart, lies, lies, lies, and then, more lies.
TP, you learned well from me, i loved using anonymous sources too.
May 18th, 2007 at 5:17 pm‘An anonymous employee responded: “Please just leave. You can take all your loyal employees with you. Who are you kidding?‒
I like that, “Who are you kidding?” Can one of the White House press corps say that to Tony Snow please? Just once?
May 18th, 2007 at 5:20 pmWolfowitz’s lack of self-awareness is truly pathological and indicates a psychiatric disorder, most likely narcissism.
May 18th, 2007 at 5:21 pmWolfy is a typical Family Values Repuke.
He has a wife…AND a mistress.
May 18th, 2007 at 5:21 pmIgnore this Clinton troll. He’s another idiot spewing Repuke bullshit.
May 18th, 2007 at 5:21 pmWith his big pay off to get out of town. . . most likely, he’ll be visiting the WH soon for his next assignment.
May 18th, 2007 at 5:24 pmAn anonymous employee responded: “Please just leave. You can take all your loyal employees with you. Who are you kidding?â€
Damn!
May 18th, 2007 at 5:25 pmHey Wolfoshitz there is the door. Just walk-out I hope the door hits you where the Good Lord slit you.
Good Ridance; Karma is a bitch.
May 18th, 2007 at 5:25 pmjust like all of the Neocons, they are detatched from reality, so sick that they believe their own lies in realtime
May 18th, 2007 at 5:27 pmReally? From the Weekly Standard editorial “Bureaucratic Betrayal At The World Bank”
“If Wolfowitz is going to resign because of this, then everybody — maybe with the exception of the janitors — should be fired.” - Unidentified World Bank employee
Ha! Up yours and your phony indignation.
May 18th, 2007 at 5:27 pmWolfie lives in a fantasy world where he is respected by his staff.
May 18th, 2007 at 5:31 pmMaybe now we can work on getting the rest of the evil out of the World Bank.
May 18th, 2007 at 5:31 pmMAF54 is “mighty afro, …”

what? just because an idiotic conservative news papers decided to also use anonymous sources it doesn’t make it right or the story more believable.
WOW! you Liberlas pundits are as slow and dumb as a rock ask Bugala had told me.
up yours? wow, that is what Monica told me every time before we f….ked.
May 18th, 2007 at 5:32 pmWe’re used to seeing the ruling elite commit all manner of misdeeds only to retire from government service and move into a series of cushy jobs while they spend the rest of their lives enjoying their ill-gotten gains.
There’s something different happening now. The Bush Administration has gone so far beyond the boundaries of ordinary abuses of power, that they have thus far been unable to escape into comfortable obscurity.
Their criminal records are following them out the door and getting in the way of business as usual on the outside. Let’s make sure this continues for the rest of their lives!
May 18th, 2007 at 5:32 pm“If Wolfowitz is going to resign because of this, then everybody — maybe with the exception of the janitors — should be fired.â€
Why? Are ALL the World Bank managers giving their secretaries raises and promotions because they’re having sex with them??
World Bank must be a wild wild place.

You’d probably like them a lot better if they were 7 years old, eh?

He really does. The guy is off his rocker.

It isn’t a he, it is a she (sort of). It is Valiant Venus, AKA Valiantthehater, Mi**ty Afrodity and several others.
May 18th, 2007 at 5:36 pmAnd, again, the right-wing lunatics display a complete inability to sense their hypocrisy.
You’re caught out by the “Liberlas” again slick. You should stop while you’re behind.
May 18th, 2007 at 5:39 pmI had to mess with that one name in my previous post to disguise it from the filters, which I find rather interesting.
May 18th, 2007 at 5:39 pmAt least they were nice enough to say please.
I would have told him to get the fu*k out of my face.
May 18th, 2007 at 5:53 pmClinton cut holes in my socks!

what? hypocrisy? I am not a Conservative. I am President Clinton. I don’t care that the Weekly Standard, a conservative publication, also used an anonymous source.
They are as easy to manipulate as CNN, MSNBC, ABC, Foxnews, CBS, New York Times, etc are.
The conservative publication is stupid for using this anonymous source and it is stupid for anyone else to use it.
they hypocrisy is coming from my camp.
But we all know that we Liberals are great at being hypocrites.

I don’t think TP has caught onto the fact that valiant venus is the banned MA.
Geez….
May 18th, 2007 at 5:55 pmI don’t think TP has caught onto the fact that valiant venus is the banned MA.
Actually, if you look at the name maf…, it ALSO means “mitey…”
May 18th, 2007 at 5:58 pmComment by Mr. Bush Goes To Hell — May 18, 2007 @ 5:58 pm
Trust me, MA aka VV would want all her vile spewings to be over her name alone. Just so we would know it was her.
May 18th, 2007 at 6:02 pmActually, I think it’s Dennis Miller. The guy’s career has really taken a nosedive, so he has a lot of free time to entertain blog readers with his attempts at “comedy.”
May 18th, 2007 at 6:03 pm” i can only conclude that, as at least one commenter has pointed out, world bank loans to iraq would be focused on rehabilitating its oil industry infrastructure, thus allowing the global oil giants to avoid paying for it themselves, and then, with loan terms written to require payback from oil revenues (part of the reason ecuador recently kicked out its world bank rep and negated its loan agreement), iraq would be totally in western hands, assuming of course the oil law eventually passed…”
Wolfie is the original Economic Hit Man.
May 18th, 2007 at 6:04 pmZooey,
EVERY time I have tried to post that maf… WAS mitey…, if I used the FULL NAME, the post was bounced. 5 times on 3 occasions.
That name is a TRIGGER for banning. Thus maf…. The ruse it that folks THINK it’s Mark Foley.
Arn Gunnutes may LOOK like a Scandanavian name, but it REALLY is
NRA Gun Nutes!!!!
Cheers,
Arn
May 18th, 2007 at 6:09 pmI’d tell Wolfie to go to work for Israel, but he already does.
May 18th, 2007 at 6:11 pmWolfie is going to take some time off to suck his comb and darn his socks.

May 18th, 2007 at 6:12 pmWolfowitz get $ 400,000 bonus for hanging out until June 30th. Crime pays!
May 18th, 2007 at 6:13 pmI would have told him to get the fu*k out of my face.
Comment by Spudge_Boy — May 18, 2007 @ 5:53 pm
Yup. Exactly. For that matter, if I were James Hansen, and that vile little lying brownshirt public affairs officer had told me what I could say or not say about my science, I think I might have just lost it and punched him the face.

THAT’S what “Jeff Gannon” calls Bush before he goes to work
“leaving impressions, NOT marks”.
“More, Jeffy. I’m YOUR wanna-be demagogue little b!tch! HARDER!”
May 18th, 2007 at 6:28 pmComment by Mr. President — May 18, 2007 @ 6:24 pm
You make a quasi valid point in a very bad way. An anonymous source makes it almost impossible to measure the validity of their statement.
However, using the phrase “wanna-be demagogue little b!tch” undermines your position.
Sorry folks, I studyed History at one of those liberal universities. Hence understanding the source is key.
May 18th, 2007 at 6:31 pmWill Wolfowitz offer a $25,000 signing bonus and a 200% pay raise to any employee who sleeps with him?
