Paul Wolfowitz has finally finally agreed to step down as the President of the World Bank following the scandal surrounding the extraordinary generous treatment given to his partner who was a World Bank employee. Another Guardian article captures the spirit of the man perfectly by describing him as "controversial, divisive and tainted by Iraq".
In the true spirit of democracy the US alone gets to name his successor. Who will it be? The timing is unfortunate because if Wolfie could have just hung on until Tony Blair moved off to the House of Lords, assuming he can afford to buy a title from Gordon, he would have been just perfect!
Wolfie has managed to hang on long enough to get his mitts on that 400K USD "performance" bonus he was so worried about. At least, thanks to Wolfie's largess, Shaha now makes enough for the two of them to squeeze by on until he finds something else.
