World Bank Finds Wolfowitz Guilty - Now Will He Step Down?

Paul Wolfowitz, beleaguered World Bank President has been found guilty of conflict of interest by the bank's board according to the NY Times. Anyone with a shred of dignity and integrity would have stepped down long ago, but Wolfie keeps hanging on.

This seems to be a trend with Bushies, they just won't quit. Over and over they are found to be guilty of doing things that most in government would find so embarrassing they would resign, yet the Bushies just keep on faking it until they are dragged kicking and screaming from their posts.

Wonder if Paul will leave or will they have to take away his keys?

Here's the kicker. Because of Wolfowitz shenanigans and his stubbornness about fessing up to his crimes, the European members of the board are considering taking away the tradition of letting the US pick the next president. Another bold blunder by the Bush administration. Not only will we loose credibility with the World Bank, we will loose the tradition of picking the president. Heck of a job, Wolfie!
