The problem with all the various Bush scandals thus far has been that they're, well, boring. They've concerned boring technicalities of law, and things like that just fail to catch on in the minds of ordinary Americans. Now if only a top member of the Bush White House would have the decency to get embroiled in a sex story, perhaps THEN people would become outraged.
Fortunately, World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz has stepped up to the plate. If the name sounds familiar, it's because he was one of the principal architects of the Iraq war debacle that has claimed thousands of lives, wasted hundreds of billions of dollars, cost Republicans control of both house of congress, created turmoil throughout the middle east, and made America the laughingstock of the international world community.
In return for these noteworthy accomplishments, President Bush appointed Wolfowitz President of the World Bank.
Anyway, Paulie is back in the news. It seems that he appointed some woman he's been boinking to a high level position at the bank, and insured that she's been getting some outrageous level of pay.
Needless to say, lower level employees at the World Bank are none too happy about this. After all, they've been working there for years for minimal pay, and it turns out all they have to do to get a raise is sleep with the boss! In fact, Wolfowitz tried to apologize for his "mistake" at an employees meeting the other day and ended up being booed off the stage.... Yes, by his own employees. Out of fairness, it should be noted that most of the employees doing the booing and hissing had not actually slept with Wolfowitz. Therefore they may not be entirely qualified to be passing judgment on the man.
