Heckuva job, Wolfie

There are no honest neo-cons, just con men.
World Bank President Paul D. Wolfowitz publicly apologized on Thursday for the "mistake" of personally orchestrating a high-paying job and guaranteed promotions for a bank employee with whom he is romantically involved, as new details of his role in the arrangement emerged and staff members angrily demanded his resignation.

The bank's board said in a statement released Friday morning that it was examining "all relevant governance implications" of Wolfowitz's involvement in a $50,000 a year raise and career advancement plan established for his longtime companion, Shaha Riza.
These people aren't fit to run a five and dime, and they sit there and try to lecture us on the free market. The damage having been profound and lasting at the Pentagon, now Wolfie is trying to destroy the World Bank.

The only thing free about neo-con markets are the things they steal.
