Paul Wolfowitz should, and I think will, be thrown out of the World Bank.
Note carefully what Cheney said in "support" of Wolfowitz:
Ya see, the deal is that there are plenty of willing neoliberals (and/or neocons) who aren't stupid enough to steal small for their girlfriends when their job is to steal large for the West. No point in risking the whole take -- not even for a stand-up guy like Wolfowitz.
That's how the mob works. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving piece of shit.

Paul is one of the most able public servants I've ever known .... I think he's a very good president of the World Bank, and I hope he will be able to continue.That's pol-speak for, "You're on your own, fuckwad." (Here's my four-letter tirade.) When push comes to shove, the US can't afford to keep him on if the entire organization wants him out without completely alienating Europe. What's the point?
