Ali Riza was employed at the World Bank when Wolfowitz came there. I’m not surprised that she was angered at her treatment; I would be too. By all accounts she is a brilliant woman who had a job that she liked and didn’t want to be moved out of the way. I would have demanded consideration, too, if I were being required to give up a job I loved because of a situation I didn’t ask for or cause.

When is society going to stop viewing women as appendages to men who can be moved around as pawns on a chess board?

I don’t tend to proofread much on blogs. I think and type fast in this case.

You might consider thinking a bit faster…or typing a bit slower…or perhaps a bit of both.

By the way, you’re giving me free advice. Aren’t I supposed to sign up for and pay for your course BEFORE you advise me?

Not at all. Considering your need, you can consider this pro bono.

How much do I owe you?

Nothing whatsoever. The satisfaction I receive from helping out those with special needs is reward enough. ^_^

‘Nuff said.

CT: Still haven’t learned the difference between “your” and “you’re”, I see…

Dude, I am at liberty to do and say whatever I please, within the law — and I do.

I make no claims to be a model commenter on TP, and I seek no mythical “promotion.”

You seem to have a problem with a woman who will stand up to you. That says a lot more about you than it does about me.

The most successfull, richest people on this planet never cared to attend college, Zooey. You’re part of some false hype, that’s it. There are plenty of prominent professionals who agree that college is a clearly overrated experience. Heck, the richest man on this planet never graduated from college. He did well, but said he wasn’t into it.

Get over YOURSELF. You’re not at liberty to tell any one “what they’ve made out of themselves.”

You’re not the technical administrator of this website, the last time I checked. You use foul language, as well, so you’re not even the model commenter here. I doubt that thinkprogress will be promoting you anytime soon.

“In the mid-1960s, while they were both studying at Cornell, he met Clare Selgin, who later became a well-known anthropologist. They married in 1968, had three children (Sara, David, and Rachel), lived in Chevy Chase, Maryland, separated in 2001, and, according to some sources, were divorced in 2002, though, according to other sources, their marital status appears to be uncertain.[4][5][10][11][8] Paul Wolfowitz still lives in Chevy Chase, Maryland.[2] After separating from his wife in 2001, he began dating Shaha Ali Riza,” — wikipedia

Clare Selgin is now shaved bald and wears insecticidal clothing, including a t-shirt with the phrase “I should have known when he licked his comb.”

He’s a high-paid, war criminal, louse.

I hereby dub Wolfie’s continuing buyouts: Fumigate.

And losing the girlfriend is the ICING on the cake!!!!!

Sorry you never made anything of yourself or your college experience. That won’t be happening to me because I don’t think like a controlling, authoritarian loser.
