Bank On It

"Socks" Wolfowitz's resignation from the World Bank is apparently imminent. Although it would be delightful to drag it out a bit longer so that Wolfie could absorb some additional, well-deserved arrows, it appears as though all parties are agreed that he's toast, but are trying to work out a face saving departure (big severance, some World Bank acknowledgement of unclear rules, etc.) Pity that he couldn't have been ejected from the Defense Department before he cooked up the Iraq war strategy.

Update: Wolfie has agreed to resign by the end of June, in exchange for the World Bank board acknowledging some error and a generous severance. Bastard.
