Wolfowitz out - I'm too crestfallen for words
So, Paul Wolfowitz is out as president of the World Bank. In the words of Jon Stewart, "the World Bank did what Iraq could not, kill Wolfowitz."Okay, I don't know if I got Stewart's joke exactly right, but you get the idea.
I shed no tears for this guy - I'm happy he now has to go find a real job and that his cushy, politically appointed position as president of the World Bank is gone. In his case, a "real job" will no doubt be sitting on the boards of defense contractors (or companies that do business with them) and the like. (Does Halliburton have an opening?)
After all, the war he helped conceive is keeping all of them awash in plenty of blood soaked cash, so I'm sure they'll be more than happy to help their buddy Wolfie.
Other than that, I don't have anything to add, other than the fact that I'm depressed I no longer have any legitimate reason to run this altogether flattering picture of Wolfie.
