Wolfowitz Blames Media for Resignation

LONDON — Departing World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz in a radio interview broadcast Monday blamed an overheated atmosphere at the bank and in the media for forcing him to resign.
Wolfowitz, who has announced he will step down June 30, denied suggestions that his decision to leave was influenced by an apparent lack of support from the bank's employees.
"I think it tells us more about the media than about the bank and I'll leave it at that," he told the British Broadcasting Corp. "People were reacting to a whole string of inaccurate statements and by the time we got to anything approximating accuracy the passions were around the bend."
Wolfowitz said that he was pleased the bank's board accepted that he had acted ethically, and in good faith in his handling of a generous compensation package for his girlfriend and bank employee Shaha Riza in 2005.
'acted ethically'? When exactly was that, Paul?
Oops! My passions are 'around the bend' again......sounds like the media was actually doing it's job. Sorry, Paul. I'm sure you won't starve.......

for once.
This administration is just a revolving door for greedy and despotic people. Wolfowitz will be recycled somewhere else, some other creepy person has already been named to take his place, and on and on it goes.
