Family Valuables

Paul Wolfowitz, President of the World Bank, architect of the I-raq catastrophe, noted neocon and exposed nepotist begged for our understanding yesterday in an excruciatingly embarrassing and putrid press conference. His piece of stuff, Ms. Riza, had risen to an exulted pay scale at Foggybottom thanks largely to Mr. Wolfowitz' patronage and arm twisting. But for Mr. Wolfowitz it had all been a terrible personal tradgedy, you see... getting caught really sucks and stuff. The corruption in this government knows no bounds and yes you could argue that Wolfie is no longer part of this administration but who got him his cushy job at the World Bank? What you think he applied for it at a local DC job fair? Wolfowitz is the architect of many failed ventures, this one having involved his co-habitor receiving $197,000.00 or so - tax free - from both State and the World Bank, none of which have hampered his career or earning power or status as a Titan of Wingnuttia. Whenever these grown-ups get caught with their hand in the proverbial cookie jar they fall on their swords and beg for forgiveness in a second, only to be rehabilitated in equally short order by a complacent press and compliant justice system to continue with their plundering ways. Why? Because they have painted themselves as the 'values' folks, compassionate and mature, above the fray of DC politics, paragons and protectors of the American way of life, virtuous, judeo/christian and wise. And the 30 percenters and the Washington press corp ate it up, hook, line and sinker and continue to eat at the same trough and no amount of hypocrisy, criminality or sheer spite will ever change that. And, when it just gets too slimey and grubby they plead the fifth, plead to their enabling base or blame a Clinton, any Clinton... Chelsea made me do it, honest!
