WASHINGTON - Embattled World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz is negotiating an agreement to resign, according to an official familiar with the talks.
His departure would include an acknowledgment from the bank that he doesn't bear sole responsibility for the controversy surrounding a generous pay package for his girlfriend, the official said.
The negotiations were taking place as the bank's board resumed deliberations over Wolfowitz's fate Wednesday afternoon.
The official said Wolfowitz wanted the bank to accept some responsibility for conflicts of interest cited against him by a special bank panel. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the delicate state of the negotiations. Yahoo News
Wolfowitz is negotiation a deal so that he doesn't sound like the crook that he is and so that, as is usual with a Bush lackey, he doesn't have to take the responsibility for his own actions.
Maybe members of the World Bank should have paid closer attention to this hood, but, Wolfie bears the full responsibility for his actions since I'm sure that bank members pushed him into paying an inexperienced piece of ass a high salary for next to doing nothing. ( sarcasm intended )
Riza worked for the bank before Wolfowitz took over as president in June 2005. She was moved to the State Department to avoid a conflict of interest, but stayed on the bank's payroll. Her salary went from close to $133,000 to $180,000. With subsequent raises, it eventually rose to $193,590. The panel concluded that the salary increase Riza received "at Mr. Wolfowitz's direction was in excess of the range" allowed under bank rules.
The next part of this mess which should be investigated is how did the slut manage to keep drawing her salary from the world Bank after she was transferred to the State Department. For that matter, how is it she also continued to receive raises for a job that she was no longer doing?
