I'm sure there are a lot of indiscretionary activities of this sort taking place in washington but we don't get to hear about all of them. I am not implying that Wolfowitz should be let off the hook though. He should pay for his actions but I worry if removing him from the presidency seat is a little too harsh. <BR/><BR/>On the subject of Ribadu, what concern 'im? He definitely sounds like a man with a lot to lose if Wolfowitz is removed from office.CandySprinkleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756284330612992565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15779774.post-11000133236936506222007-05-06T15:55:00.000+01:002007-05-06T15:55:00.000+01:00How can you possibly say 'What does it matter?' wi...How can you possibly say 'What does it matter?' with regard to Wolfowitz. And how can Catwalq say what she says... and assume that all women of middle eastern and indian origin attractive...?? Bloody Hell. It matters because it smells of corruption. And while most of our leaders may be corrupt, when it is obvious, it is only right to object. 'The haters'?? Catwalq, does life in America not even try to be moral? As a teacher, I cannot teach my kids to do the right thing when all of our leaders are constantly doing the right thing and when 'the people' don't seem bothered by it!

I am actually proud of the guy. He did what he was supposed to do.<BR/>Check this out.<BR/>Why would you go out with a man that looks like that (let's not even add age now) without some benefits, ehn? The girl's name sounded indian or middle eastern or whatever therefore, I am assuming she is fine to look at.<BR/>oga see am, oga like am. She sef she see oga, she size am. oga no too fine but oga get money and connection.<BR/>she service oga once or twice. it had been a while for the guy and in gratitude, im take raise and ambition give am. By all aristos code books, he has fufilled his duties. All the haters who either cannot score an indian or an oga start shouting. Dosgbes. <BR/>Instead of them to be asking how they too can get in on the deal.<BR/>As far as the others mentioned. let me go and research my news and get back to uMs. Catwalqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506293561878301421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15779774.post-32576930293067284912007-05-03T23:55:00.000+01:002007-05-03T23:55:00.000+01:00I agree that the Wolfowitz issue is more or less a...I agree that the Wolfowitz issue is more or less a smackdown for his neo-con views. But that does not necessarily make it such a horrible thing, in my opinion. He was content to ride that horse without (seemingly) offering the olive branch to World Bank staffers and others...abi why else are they screaming "off with his head!" Honestly, I would be more ambivalent about this if not for the rumours that Okonjo-Iweala is being tipped as his replacement. In which case, bye bye Paul, hello Ngozi :)<BR/><BR/>-oo-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15779774.post-6595653448156598332007-05-03T19:12:00.000+01:002007-05-03T19:12:00.000+01:00Thanks for the Ribadu link!

The Wolfowitz issue is as much about settling scores with the neo-con flank as anything else; Lord Browne was silly enough to misrepresent the detail of his relationship with his boyfriend under oath; as for Randy Tobias...the less said, the better.<BR/><BR/>If one's personal conduct has no direct bearing upon the execution of one's public office, then it ought to remain out of bounds to the prurient press. Of course, it is not always easy to establish this distinction.

It would have applied if he did the same for his male relative, he was imposed on the WB, Staff are on a mini mutiny, one of the architects of the Iraq war plus he is Neo con (bad jibe) etc… its not about sex<BR/><BR/>Randall (Randy) Tobias – Envoy to the Global Aids programme . Hypocrite, preaching ‘Abstinence only’ to developing countries. I know what he did is his private life, but if he cannot practice what he preaches….<BR/><BR/>Lord Browne’s only crime was perjury. Private life did not interfere with work. People who kiss and tell are the lowest form of life. <BR/><BR/>so only one is about sex<BR/><BR/>….and Tony Blair – almost smoked a joint in 1997 when he came to power.
