World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz has resigned his post, effective June 30.
An internal panel tasked with investigating the lucrative pay and promotion package Wolfowitz arranged in 2005 for girlfriend Shaha Riza found him guilty of breaking bank rules.
The committee also found that he tried to hide the salary and promotion package from top ethics and legal officials within the bank. The report added that there is a “crisis in the leadership” at the World Bank.
Wolfowitz is the first World Bank president to ever leave the bank under a cloud of scandal.

So long you filthy Neo-Con!
~Don’t you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?~
~Don’t you wish your girlfriend was paid like mine?~
LMAO! What a thug!
Is it real today? 😉 Is it safe to celebrate?
Hi TomCat and Christopher!
Yes!! I’m dancing!! hehe
I was just reading an article that said he would step down as of June 30 because that is the end of the bank’s current fiscal year.
That article says Bush would have a candidate to announce soon. But, who will Bush nominate now to take Wolfowitz’s place?
Abramoff? Ney? Cunningham? DeLay? Brownie? Rumsfeld? Ashcroft? Powell? Tenet? Sampson? McNulty? Goodling? Doolittle? Renzi?
Geezz… who did I forget?
LOLMAO
I forgot Scooter! LOL
Thank gawd and greyhound he’s gone…
I’m gonna sleep well tonight* …………………zzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Poor Bush. Who is gonna siphon money from the World bank now?
This just show’s the type of people Bush put his faith in to help run this country.
Next Wednesday is Monica Goodling’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary.
Can’t wait to hear if Rove gave her the orders to fire the U.S. attorneys. Now that she has the immunity deal, she can’t take the “Fifth.”
Imagine a world without Rove!
I wonder in Monica will be the next head of the World Bank. Perhaps if she lies well enough….. 😉
Disgusting, I was reading some online magazine based in Tenn. that suggested Bill Frist might be offered the job. Another crook!
