Don’t look now but a leading neo-con has actually admitted to wrong-doing:

A high-ranking official in three different Republican administrations who currently presides over the World Bank, has admitted using his authority to get his girlfriend promotions and hefty pay rises at the institution he heads.

Paul Wolfowitz, the country’s Deputy Defense Secretary until 2005, personally directed the World Bank’s head of human resources to offer his girlfriend, Shaha Riza, a huge pay increase and promotion that drew attention because it was more than double allowed under staff rules.

In a written memorandum Wolfowitz specifically ordered Riza’s promotion to a senior position with a lucrative salary of $193,000 free of tax. It also mapped out future promotions and subsequent annual pay increases. Ironically … Wolfowitz vowed to fervently pursue anti-corruption policies when he became its president.

Next thing you know, Alberto Gonzales will be resigning.

In any case, this would appear to be a good time for me to withdraw the group sex allegations I had earlier leveled against World Bank board members (no pun intended, of course), based on statements made by Wolfowitz and his spokesman Kevin Kellems.
