Running Wolf

It's official, Paul Wolfowitz is gone, or at least he will be by the end of June. The bank has accepted his resignation and added that he acted "ethically and in good faith." Whatever.

Let's take a look at where Wolfowitz screwed up. It was when he took the job. If you are offered a job where your girlfriend is going to have to report to you, there are only three things you can do. You either pass on the job, or you make the board reassign her before you come on to the payroll, or she quits. That's it, period. There is no other ethical way to handle the situation.

Wolfowitz went another way and it came back to haunt him. For that reason alone, he is entirely to blame for what happened to him.

He's Going The Distance

Nope, he's going home. Wolfowitz set to resign this afternoon. Bye-bye Wolfie. Hope he didn't get that bonus check.

Also not going the distance, Prince Harry will not serve in Iraq.

Wolfie

Just in case you are wondering why in the world Paul Wolfowitz thinks he can keep his job, you're not alone. In fact, I believe Wolfowitz himself doesn't believe it.

What Wolfie does believe is that he can hang on for another month. Reportedly, if he makes it to June 1st, he is due a $400,000 tax free bonus. I think that after he gets the cash, he'll slink off into the night, hopefully never to be heard from again.
