Calling It Quits
Embattled World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz’s girlfriend is resigning as his girlfriend.



May 8, 2007 - In yet another setback for the embattled World Bank president, Paul Wolfowitz’s girlfriend, Shaha Riza, announced today that she was resigning as Wolfowitz’s girlfriend, “effective immediately.”

While Riza’s role in the conflict-of-interest scandal involving Wolfowitz and the World Bank had placed her in the eye of the media storm, few had expected her to relinquish her girlfriend post without a fight. But according to a source close to Riza, the increasing pressure on the high-profile couple in recent days had convinced her that she “could no longer function effectively as Paul Wolfowitz’s girlfriend.”

A joint communiqué released by the couple indicated that the decision to leave her girlfriend post was entirely Riza’s, but sources close to Wolfowitz suggest that the idea had originated not with her, but with the World Bank president himself. According to one source, “Paul had dinner with Shaha last night and told her they should start seeing other banks.”

News of Riza’s departure sparked speculation that Wolfowitz might have difficulty acquiring a new girlfriend, but according to Vice President Dick Cheney, who has served as Wolfowitz’s unofficial “wingman” for years, nothing could be further from the truth. “The fact that the World Bank found Paul guilty of wrongdoing gives him an air of danger,” Cheney said. “The ladies dig that.”

:D

other thread about Thompson, GOP savior? Looks like Wolfie's working on it.

Wolfowitz certainly has an air of something about him, but I always thought it was bargain-basement hair gel mixed with stale B.O.

And ladies certainly DON'T dig that.

Good luck, Paulie!

Someone posted a photo of Mr. Charming in his socks. It seems Wolfie has long tonenails, and they wore big holes in the black socks.

Ugggghhhhhhh.....

We call 'em Bear Claws.

... is a terrible sequel to "Breakfast At Tiffany's" :shrug: (Do they have a pet named "Rat"?)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_king

Rat kings are mythological beasts said to arise when a number of rats become intertwined at the tails, and additionally stuck to each other with blood, dirt, and excrement. Consequently, the animals grow together, joined at the tails, which are often broken. The phenomenon is particularly associated with Germany, where the majority of instances have been reported.

Most researchers presume that the creatures are legendary and are created by conscious manipulation by human beings, such as tying the tails of dead rats together and mummifying them. Some reports of living specimens have been made, but remain unsubstantiated. The supposed cause for the phenomenon is the narrow living space in some buildings, where the young animals live too closely together, becoming hopelessly entangled with one another. However, the normal behavior of rats, which generally seek their own comfort, speaks against this theory. No scientific study has been performed to prove a natural cause of the phenomenon, and most researchers classify the rat king as a fictitious animal.


Until today.

No, ladies do NOT like wrong doing. Geez, Dick still in high school I guess. Girlfriend, at that age? That term seems so wrong when you're up in years.
