With due respect you can do better and it helps keep the debate on a higher level. Civility breeds respect even among adversaries.

I am pretty tired of people who parrot Bushs infantile "demorcat party" crap. When I hear it I am going to feel free to place a golf ball on their flat little heads and tee off...

This is an orchestrated hit on a leader looking to make institutional changes.

*shrug*

even if true, this particular leader has needed to be hit for some time. I'll not shed any tears over poor wolfowitz.

You're back to personal insults instead of sticking to the issue at hand.

Like others have said, Wolfowitz tried to recuse himself and was told not to. He then consulted with the ethics authorities on how to proceed.

This is an orchestrated hit on a leader looking to make institutional changes.

When you read that Wolf did exactly what the WB ethics advisor told him to do, which was similar to what many others in the WB have done, and you see the WB hirarchy still proceeding then you know he has been set up.

For the pin heads writing here opposing Wolf. to suggest he is immoral shows they are either ignorant, playing politics or spending to much time with their pointy heads sticking in the ground.

The only organization sicker than the World Bank? The democrat party.

Right. I particularly detested how the Dems sheltered that text-messaging pedophile last year. Sure swung my vote!

So it's wrong to stand up to bullying europeans? It's wrong to say something like Wolfowitz said in private?

Umm... yes, Steve. He as much as admits he's dirty, but threatens to take others down with him if he's called on his crimes. And given the implied admission, they're not "bullying" him - that's a crap way to try and frame the debate away from Wolfie's ethical problems. I suppose nothing is inexcusable if you're a Republican...

Hell between Bremer and Tenet it's hard to even get a good patsy these days. They make baby Oswald cry.

(Needs a post, JJ -- the FBI director *ordering* his agents not to let Andy Card and Gonzales shove Comey out of Ashcroft's room?)
