Wolfowitz under investigation at the World Bank for improperly promoting girlfriend.A substantial pay raise and promotion for his current girlfriend is at issue. Wolfowitz’s nearly two-year employment with the World Bank may be at end. The World Bank board said Friday that the situation should be dealt with “urgently, effectively and in an orderly manner.” The ad hoc group will make recommendations to the board’s executive directors. No timetable was provided. The board asked the group to look into Wolfowitz’s handling of Riza’s compensation package with regard to bank rules and “conflict of interest, ethical, reputations and other relevant standards.”
President Bush has run to the aid of Mr. Wolfowitz, who publically has stated that "the administration is in full support of Mr. Wolfowitz." Great character reference. With "W" on his side, certainly his days are numbered.
My advise to Mr. Wolfowitz is to run back to the Bush administration, where such hubris and dirty dealings are not only tolerated, they are all a part of the pattern of behavior that has been developing, and will continue through the end of the administrations terms of office.
