Don't Let The Door Hit You On The Way Out

It appears that the term of Paul "Socks" Wolfowitz as head of the World Bank is about to end, according to this piece in the New York Times. His conflict of interest in promoting A-rab girlfriend Shaha "Ha Ha" Ali Riza within the ranks and getting her a cushy job with the State Department was condemned by the World Bank board. That Board is trying to jettison Socks in return for allowing the U.S. to appoint his successor. With the doors seeming to be closing on the neocon cheerleaders for the Iraq war, Socks may have to look for gainful employment elsewhere. Hey, maybe he could be the go-between for the Israelis and Palestinians; given his history with Ha Ha, he could teach them to make love and not war.
