Wolfowitz Complains Of Shabby Treatment: Report

[Purveyor]

Source: AFP

World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz has accused the development lender's board of treating him "shabbily and unfairly" as he battles to retain his job.

The New York Times divulged a letter Thursday sent by the embattled Wolfowitz to the head of a World Bank probe Wednesday in which the former Pentagon number two appealed for more time to fend off charges of favoritism and cronyism.

Wolfowitz asked to appear before the board next week in the interests of "fairness to me" and "good governance," according to the Times, which relayed a description of the letter from people who had seen it.

It said many of the bank's 24 directors had been "taken aback by the tough tone of the letter," which could not be immediately confirmed by AFP.

1. Oh, hell. I thought he was talking about abuse from his girlfriend.

This shit is boring. I want kinky sex talk. Big headlines about bite marks, whips, and chains.

[cloudbase]

2. That's not kinky.

It's only kinky if I don't do it.

4. Frankly, Paul, you should be incarcerated for public comb-licking.

It was beyond obscene. :puke:

20. So you don't like saliva groomed hair

What about his lack of hygiene in reference of his long toe nails wearing holes in his socks.

[HereSince1628]

5. LOL! It's entertaining to watch one of the great Neocon villans beg for fair treatment

when he is getting exactly what he deserves!

[damntexdem]

26. He's not getting what he deserves yet.

If he were, all the pictures of him would show bars, and he'd be in orange garb.

[HereSince1628]

31. yes, I suspect the world has a lot more to give him.

and he's gonna like that a whole lot less

[Rambis]

6. They should flog him in the town square!

Then a trip to Cuba would be in order!

[Ghost Dog]

29. Guantánamo is not (sovereign) Cuba.

thanks to an unjust, unfair, cooerced treaty between cronies at the time.

The entire Guantánamo bay area should be returned, now if not sooner, to Cuba. Thanks.

8. They never expect anyone will dare to challenge them, considering they control

almost everything by now. Apparently this would be one of those "you can fool all of the people some of the time" situations, considering how frightened everyone should be of the fact they've got complete control of all the weapons and can reduce almost any country to a pile of dust.

Also from the article:

A board committee is also investigating his hiring of former White House aides, also on generous pay deals, to work in his inner circle after he took over the World Bank in June 2005.

[aquart]

9. All executive contracts will need to be rewritten

To cover this kind of intransigence.

Formerly, there was an honor system. If you were disgraced, you resigned. Now you hang on till you are bribed to leave. There needs to be a better way.

[gauguin57]

10. Oh. go lick your comb, Wolfie!

[rodeodance]

11. hey Wolfie--you work for the World -----not George (Bank says Wolfie is implementing

GWB objectives!!)

[muffin1]

12. You've got to be kidding me...

First I hear Laura Bush is seeking sympathy for herself, and her moran husband. And now this dip shit wants it, as well???
Let me tell you, I do payroll for my company. If I gave someone a so much as a dollar raise without permission, my repug boss would throw me out on my liberal ass.:mad:

[MadMaddie]

32. When the shit starts hitting them in the face the truth comes out

they are cowards and I can think of some other choice words.

Welcome to DU!:hi:

[sutz12]

13. Well, Paul....you're a shabby guy. nt

:shrug:

[irish.lambchop]

14. Shabby treatment??!!

Send his ass to Iraq without proper equipment and then send him to Walter Reed - let's see if his definition of shabby changes!

[CountAllVotes]

15. awwwwwwwwwwww

:dem: :kick:

[Tracer]

16. These Neocons have friggin' chuztpah! >>>

... more from the NY Times article:


Meanwhile, the bank's vice presidents have rebuffed his request for them to set up an ad hoc committee to advise him on improving his management style. The vice presidents did not want to be co-opted into helping his campaign to stay in office, bank officials said.

21. That is hilarious!

As if that guy, given his background, his behavior, his attitude, would have any interest (or even ability) to change his management style. What a putz.

[Gman]

17. Cry me a friggin' river, Wolfie

[calimary]

22. You can say that again! Cry me a friggin' river, wolfie.

:nopity:

Um... maybe he could play it on his comb.

[Bucky]

18. Doesn't his GF make enough money that Wolfy can stay at home & cook?

I hear he has a great recipe for cooking intelligence.

[Maeve]

Well, you just leave, then! That'll show 'em!

:eyes: Friggin' idjit...

[alcibiades_mystery]

19. Quelle dommage

Your insane plans murdered tens of thousands, Mr. Wolfowitz. Now you complain that the bank people aren't inviting you to parties. Go fuck yourself.

[AlCzervik]

23. oh poor baby, leme call you a Waaaaaaaabulance.

[CJCRANE]

24. F*ck off combsucker !

How'd you like that tone, Wolfie?

[damntexdem]

25. Oh, poor little Wolf-witz? Has he been treated shabbily?

If they're going to treat him like that, why, he should show them -- he should just resign!

LOL!!!

[truthisfreedom]

27. So when is the NYT going to publish said letter? I think it would be the final nail if they did.

Let's see the damned thing!

[bluerum]

28. Oh now that's a shame. Such a nice man treated shabbily. Don't

worry Wolfie. Mr.Karl and Mr.Chainey will spank them for you.

[xxqqqzme]

30. why is he fighting so hard for this spot.

anyone w/ a teaspoon of integrity would have resigned weeks ago. What do the neo-cons need him to accomplish before he waddles off into the sunset w/ his parachute of gold?

[anotherdrew]

33. wolfy the war criminal can go to hell n/t

[UpInArms]

34. ewwwww! that nasty thing thinks thinks it is being treated

"shabbily"?



why doesn't he go to Abu Ghraib and see what happened because of his war?

[sakabatou]

35. Does omeone need his WAAAAAAAmbulence?

[shanti]

36. poor baby!

:nopity: what a schmuck.

[yellowcanine]

37. Did they make fun of him for being caught on film licking his comb?

That's pretty shabby, I agree. But so is licking your comb and running it through your hair. And so is living with your girlfriend without bothering to get a divorce from your wife for 10 years. And so is giving said girlfriend a big raise with money given by governments to help poor people around the world.
